«Improving the welfare of citizens is a key indicator of the efficiency of the state apparatus. This principle should be the main one in the work of the entire state agency and every civil servant. For the optimal implementation of the reforms carried out in the country, it is necessary to increase the confidence of the population in the state apparatus,» the head of the ACSA said.
