Nozima Saidalieva noted that “violations of the rights of entrepreneurs lead to additional expenses from the state budget”.

 

“If we speak on the example of courts, then by their decisions the state bodies are ordered to restore the violated rights of entrepreneurs, which means the payment of compensations, the allocation of land, etc., as well as the payment of the state duty,” Nozima Saidalieva emphasized and added that in total these expenses form a large amount of funds. …

“In addition to additional costs, violation of the rights of entrepreneurs has a negative impact on the image of a state body and an employee, which leads to a decrease in confidence in them. For this reason, we urge state bodies not to commit offences, ”said the representative of the business ombudsman.
