Tajikistan Officials Transitioning Jobs: Where Are They Now?

in Politics / Tajikistan - by


In Tajikistan, many officials are being relieved of their duties due to transitioning to other jobs, with some waiting for new orders for extended periods, even years. Some high-profile officials were not reappointed and currently do not hold official positions. Among them is Shirin Amonzoda, who was relieved of her role as Minister of Labor, Migration, and Employment. Despite expectations of a promotion, she was not reassigned, sparking speculation about her future plans. Jamoliddin Nuraliev, a significant figure in the financial sector, was released from his position as Deputy Chairman of the National Bank after serving for 7 years. 

His contributions to financial policy, including the successful sale of Eurobonds worth $500 million, were notable. The former Minister of Culture, dismissed for ineffective leadership, is also yet to secure a new position. Shohin Saidzoda, who has been awaiting reassignment for over two years, faced allegations of embezzlement prior to his dismissal. 

Muhammadyusuf Imomzoda, the former Minister of Education, received criticism for not adequately addressing key issues in the education sector, leading to his dismissal. Several other officials are currently awaiting reassignment, prompting concerns about the government's staffing decisions.
