Powers of Ms. Rahmatova will be terminated in connection with appointment of her as deputy chairperson of the Committee on Architecture and Construction under the Government of Tajikistan.

Mr. Davlatov voluntarily turns over his powers ahead of schedule in connection with leaving the country.

Meanwhile, powers of Mr. Safiulloyev, who is the head of the Communist Party organizations for Dushanbe, will be terminated ahead of schedule as he is suspected of fraud.
