According to Asia-Plus, Rustam Sanginzoda, head of the department for oversight of land legislation at the Khatlon Prosecutor’s Office, stated at a press conference on July 20 that “a criminal case has been initiated against officials, and a preliminary investigation is underway.”

“During the inspection, it was revealed that a number of officials and individuals grossly violated land legislation. According to the information we have, the former district head and his accomplices illegally allocated more than 2 hectares of land from an industrial enterprise to residents of the district,” Sanginzoda reported.

The issue of land allocation is considered one of the most pressing problems in Tajikistan. Every year, authorities detain or bring to criminal responsibility dozens of officials on charges of illegal sale or allocation of land plots.

Ramazon Oymakhmadzoda was appointed chairman of the Shahritus district in the Khatlon region in 2017. He was dismissed from this position by a decree of Emomali Rahmon on July 22, 2019. Prior to this, he served as the chairman of the Nosiri Khisrav district.
