significance of the parliament in our country's socio-
political life have fundamentally changed.
Indeed, the parliamentary system in Uzbekistan is
improving year by year. Correspondingly, in the
Republic of Karakalpakstan, the parliamentary system
serves to introduce new beneficial laws and develop
favorable regulations for the public, with the aim of
legally regulating every sector of state life.
The legislative authority of Uzbekistan, the Oliy Majlis,
performs the function of the parliament. Similarly, the
legal status, powers, and parliamentary control in the
Republic of Karakalpakstan are regulated by the laws
of the Republic of Karakalpakstan. Before assessing
their role in state governance, it is necessary to discuss
the significance of the parliament in state
management.
Achieving good governance requires the presence of a
strong, effective, and active parliament. This indicates
that the parliament plays a crucial role in assessing,
gathering, and presenting the needs and views of the
people, and in expressing their expected outcomes
and aspirations in defining the national development
program. As an control div, the parliament helps
identify pressing issues and challenges in politics, and
assists in eliminating bureaucratic inertia.
In the modern world, the three main functions of
parliaments in governing the state can be identified as:
1.
Enacting new laws, amending existing laws,
and repealing obsolete laws;
2.
Expressing and protecting the opinions and
desires of citizens in the decision-making process;
3.
Monitoring the activities of the executive
bodies to ensure the government's accountability to
the people.
Specifically, the third function helps to ensure
government accountability, implement budget and
financial control, protect the interests of the people,
combat law violations and corruption, and maintain a
balance of power with other branches of government
through the limitation of executive powers.
In the Republic of Karakalpakstan, a specific system
and procedure for implementing parliamentary control
have been developed, as detailed in the law "On
Parliamentary Control," adopted on December 28,
2016. According to Article 3 of this law, the following
bodies carry out parliamentary control in the Republic
of Karakalpakstan:
−
The Jokargi Kenes of the Republic of
Karakalpakstan;
−
Committees and commissions of the Jokargi
Kenes;
−
Factions of political parties in the Jokargi Kenes;
−
Deputies of the Jokargi Kenes.
The constitutional basis for the implementation of
parliamentary control by the Jokargi Kenes is indicated
in Article 70, Clause 19 of the Constitution of the
Republic of Karakalpakstan, which states that the
Jokargi Kenes of the Republic of Karakalpakstan shall
carry out parliamentary control.
The manner in which parliamentary control is carried
out, fulfilling various functions, is also outlined in the
law "On Parliamentary Control." According to this law,
control is conducted in the following 13 forms:
1.
Review of the execution of the State budget of
the Republic of Karakalpakstan.

Council of Ministers of the Republic of Karakalpakstan
on the most important issues in the state's socio-

According to the law, after the implementation of
parliamentary control, it is necessary to present its
results to the public. This factor demonstrates the
accountability of the parliament to the people and
serves to strengthen public trust in the parliament.
Therefore, following the results, the Jokargi Kenes
performs the following actions:
Submits a proposal to the relevant authority
for the dismissal of a government member.
−
Submits a proposal to the relevant authority for the
dismissal of a government member.
−
Makes suggestions and expresses opinions to
relevant state bodies to improve the effectiveness of
the tasks assigned to them.
−

the assigned tasks.
−

preventing violations of citizens' rights.
−

officials accountable, including their dismissal from
positions.
−

This means that the subjects of parliamentary control
must acquaint state bodies with the necessary
documents when conducting parliamentary control.
Moreover, it is not permissible to interfere with the
activities carried out by state bodies and responsible
officials within their mandates. The subjects of
parliamentary control must comply with legal
documents concerning data protection during the
execution of their activities.
Attention should also be paid to some shortcomings in
the legal norms mentioned above. For example, in the
Republic of Uzbekistan’s "On Parliamentary Control"
law, the forms of implementing control include
listening to the responses of government members to
the questions of deputies during the sessions of the
Legislative Chamber. Implementing this practice in the
Republic of Karakalpakstan is also considered
significant. For example, transparency in the
accountability of the executive power would be
further enhanced by listening to the responses of
government members to the questions posed by the
deputies of the Jokargi Kenes. This would strengthen
the transparency regarding the accountability of the
executive authority.
Another aspect is that Article 22 of the law specifies
that the results of parliamentary control in
Karakalpakstan can be published on mass media and
the official websites of the Jokargi Kenes. Considering
the accountability of governments to their people
worldwide, it should be mandatory to publish the
results of control, and the role of mass media in this
area needs to be enhanced. This would open several
avenues for ensuring transparency in the institution of
parliamentary control.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, parliamentary control is one of the key
mechanisms of democracy, ensuring that the
executive authority operates transparently, efficiently,
and in accordance with the interests of the people. This
process enhances the government's accountability to
the public, strengthens legality in state governance,
and serves as a primary tool in preventing corruption
and legal violations. Therefore, continuously improving
the methods of implementing parliamentary control,
utilizing new methods and technologies, and ensuring
transparency to reflect the desires of the people are of
significant importance.
