In particular, an effective mechanism for combating corruption has been created in our country, and institutional and legal foundations for ensuring legitimacy have been formed. As a result of reforms in other areas, regulatory legal documents aimed at reducing corruption factors were adopted in order to improve the normative legal framework for combating corruption, to eliminate legal gaps.

These include reducing bureaucracy in public administration, ensuring openness and transparency, improving the quality of public services, and digitalization.

The negative impact of corruption on the development of the society and its consequences, corruption and criminal liability, as well as the responsibility of every citizen in preventing it, conflicts of interests, etc., were given many examples at the event.

The expert who took part in the event emphasized that the state bodies and public organizations should work together to solve this problem, and attach importance to increasing moral and legal literacy.

Such activities serve to develop citizens' legal consciousness and moral values, and to increase their activity in fighting corruption.
