Who is awarded the title of “Major General,” new discounts on ranks!

The President of Tajikistan has announced new promotions for regular and extraordinary military ranks for employees of law enforcement agencies.

According to the press service of the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, as the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, “awarded a number of military personnel from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the General Prosecutor’s Office, the Agency for State Financial Control and the Fight Against Corruption of the Republic of Tajikistan, and the Central Committee of the public organization for defense assistance of the Republic of Tajikistan the highest military ranks of ‘major general’ and the class rank of ‘state advisor of justice of the 3rd class’.”

As seen in the footage published by the press service of the President of Tajikistan, 13 individuals received new ranks.

Despite the fact that according to Tajikistan’s legislation, a regular military rank is awarded to a serviceman on the day of the expiration of his military service in the previous rank, and also taking into account his merits, sources close to law enforcement agencies report that such decisions by the current government of Tajikistan are often made in exchange for bribes.

Experts say that military ranks, like all government positions, are bought and sold, and the government of Emomali Rahmon has set prices for them. Therefore, some receive their military ranks faster than others, as they are favored by high-ranking officials, or they have paid a substantial sum for them.
