Abstract:
The article presents scientific and theoretical
proposals and recommendations for the adoption of a
legal basis for the practical implementation of reforms
carried out in the new Uzbekistan and the mechanism
for its implementation. It is important that the main
subjects of public control become active participants in
these reforms and feel that their opinion is in demand
as a civic duty.
Keywords:
Public control, officials, reforms, mass
media, national council, corruption, civil servants.
Introduction:
In recent years, the process of the
practical mechanism of public control in the Republic of
Uzbekistan has been systematically intensified within
the framework of the reforms being carried out in the
state. The Law "On Public Control"[3], adopted on April
12, 2018, was adopted as an important legal basis in this
area. This law defines the procedure for organizing and
implementing public control over the activities of state
bodies and their officials.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
However, to say that it has been fully formed in practice,
it should be noted that there are still some problems
and the need for improvement. In my research, Doctor
of Law, Professor A.A.Dadasheva, emphasizing the
importance of the idea that "public control should not
be a process, but the result should be the main one" [1,
2, 5, 6, 7], emphasized the need to present the activities
of officials through the media through full programs of
one-day activities and officials in their speeches to fully
present their daily plans through the media. On March
5, 2025, a meeting of the National Council for
Combating Corruption was held in the Senate of the Oliy

Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan. At it, the
President
of
the
Republic
of
Uzbekistan
Sh.M.Mirziyoev, in his speech, gave an assessment of
the work done to create a corruption-free
environment in our country and outlined future tasks.
An open system has been created in society that brings
the problem of corruption to public discussion. In
particular, the role and influence of the mass media in
this regard is growing” [4].
In continuing this idea, it is important that in the
modern information age, the open and transparent
conduct of one-day labor activities of public servants
through the media (mass media) be available to our
citizens as information in certain aspects, be aware of
the sequence of work being carried out, and have at
least some knowledge and information about the
responsibility of public servants. The subjects and
forms of public control, the rights and obligations of
participants in social relations in this area, and the
results of public control have been legally enshrined.
Today, the regulatory framework for conducting public
control has been formed in our country, and it is being
systematically developed.
As the Executive Director of the Development Strategy
Center, Eldor Tulyakov, noted, "The main instrument
of public control is the law. Public organizations
monitor the implementation of laws by state executive
bodies. The conclusions of public control serve to
critically review the activities of the executive branch,
correct shortcomings, and ensure public participation.
An important condition for the formation of civil
society is the increased activity of citizens, a sense of
involvement in social events, and a deep awareness by
each civil servant that their activities are under public
control. That is, state bodies must explain their policies
and actions to the population and regularly report to
the people - this is a requirement of our time.
In our opinion, it is necessary to draw conclusions
based on the results, not the process, under public
control. Otherwise, public control will put executive
authorities in a state of deprivation. Therefore, in
public control, the main criterion should be the result,
not the process".
The Law "On Public Control" clearly specifies the
subjects of control (citizens, non-governmental non-
profit organizations, mass media, and self-governing
bodies of citizens) and the objects of control (decisions,
programs, and services of state bodies) [8]. Various
methods such as public discussions, hearings,
monitoring, expert evaluations, and surveys are
established as forms of control. Public councils have
been formed under state bodies, for example, the
Public Council under the Committee for Development
of Competition and Protection of Consumer Rights.
Furthermore, the establishment of the Public Chamber
under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan in
2020 served to strengthen public oversight. The role of
mass media and social networks in public control
activities is steadily increasing. For instance, draft laws
are published for broad public discussion, and citizens'
opinions are taken into account. Additionally, there are
opportunities to participate in open meetings of state
bodies and hear their reports. Currently, however,
Public Councils are often limited to formalities and are
unable to exert real influence. According to monitoring
and analysis, the activities of these structures frequently
remain only on paper. To fully utilize public control
mechanisms, it is necessary to further enhance the legal
awareness and participation of the population. For this,
it is crucial that the transparency of state bodies'
activities and the volume of information they provide
are clear and complete. However, this information is not
yet fully organized.
In recent years, the development of the "Electronic
Government" system, the provision of public services
through
online
platforms,
and
improved
communication with the population have contributed to
increasing the effectiveness of public oversight.
Furthermore, the New Uzbekistan Development
Strategy for 2022-2026 sets the task of further
enhancing these mechanisms.
In Uzbekistan, the practical mechanism of public
oversight has been legally established and is gradually
developing. However, to achieve its full effectiveness, it
is necessary to further strengthen practical processes,
increase citizen engagement, and ensure the
transparency of government bodies. Reforms in this
direction are ongoing, and the results will become more
evident over time if this mechanism proves to yield
positive outcomes.
The object of our research is public oversight in the
development of the railway transport sector in
Uzbekistan, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring
transparency, efficiency, and social interests in this field.
In this context, public oversight refers to the process by
which citizens, non-governmental organizations, and
independent experts observe, analyze, and influence
the activities of the railway system. This oversight serves
to improve the work of state bodies and responsible
organizations in the railway sector, reduce corruption,
and enhance the quality of services in accordance with
the needs of the population. Public oversight is of vital
importance in the development of the railway transport
sector in Uzbekistan, as it plays a significant role in
ensuring transparency, efficiency, and the protection of
social interests in this area.

Firstly, railway transport in Uzbekistan is considered an
essential component of the country's economy and
transit potential. In recent years, the joint-stock
company
"Uzbekistan
Railways"
has
been
implementing numerous projects to open new routes,
modernize infrastructure, and improve the quality of
service. Public oversight serves as a crucial tool in
ensuring the efficient use of resources in these
processes and the high-quality execution of
construction and modernization work. For example,
feedback from citizens regarding services at railway
stations, timely train operations, or pricing policies
helps identify and address issues in the sector.
Secondly, public oversight serves to strengthen the
implementation of state policies and legislation in the
railway sector. Although entities such as the Transport
Control Inspectorate under the Ministry of Transport
of the Republic of Uzbekistan are responsible for
ensuring safety and compliance with regulations in the
field, involving the public in this process creates an
additional factor of transparency and trust.
Suggestions or critical feedback provided by citizens
and non-governmental organizations help to consider
the interests of the population when making decisions.
Thirdly, public oversight ensures the social orientation
of railway transport. In Uzbekistan, the majority of
users of railway transport services are ordinary
citizens, for whom convenience, safety, and affordable
prices are crucial. Through public control, passengers'
complaints and needs can be communicated more
swiftly, allowing appropriate measures to be taken
based on them. For instance, issues such as the quality
of train services, conditions at railway stations, or the
availability of infrastructure for persons with limited
mobility remain relevant due to public attention.
CONCLUSION
Finally, public oversight also plays a significant role in
implementing innovations and modern technologies in
the railway sector. Suggestions from citizens and
experts can unlock new opportunities in areas such as
digitalization, the use of environmentally friendly
vehicles, or the expansion of services through online
platforms. In conclusion, public oversight in the
development of the railway transport sector in
Uzbekistan ensures that the industry operates
transparently, effectively, and in accordance with the
needs of the population. This process serves to
strengthen cooperation among the government, the
private sector, and citizens, elevating the country's
transportation potential to a higher level.
