On 11 April in the course of the extended session of Turkmenistan’s Cabinet of Ministers President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov issued reprimands to khyakims of all five velayats for “poor performance of job responsibilities and failure to carry out the works envisaged by the National Agricultural program”.
Moreover, Minister of Construction and Architecture Soyenchnazar Selimov was reprimanded “for weakening of control over the execution of the National Agricultural program and poor quality of the construction works”.
Let us recall that President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov has repeatedly expressed discontent with the khyakims of provinces for problems in the agricultural sector.
