On September 10, 2025, the Ministry’s Ethics Commissioner, together with the Legal Department, held a seminar on the topic: “Public Speaking, Mass Media, Social Networks, and Anti-Corruption Prevention.”

The event was aimed at strengthening the legal and ethical culture of civil servants and enhancing their responsibility when interacting with citizens, the media, and in the digital space.

During the seminar, special attention was given to the following issues:

Ethics of public speaking and digital culture. Participants were advised to maintain a respectful tone in online discussions, official speeches, and social media publications, as this is a key component of digital ethics.

Combating gambling addiction. The inadmissibility of civil servants’ participation in gambling activities and visits to gambling establishments was emphasized.

Prevention of discrimination. Attention was drawn to the strict prohibition of any forms of discrimination against women, as well as the need to treat all citizens with respect regardless of their gender, social status, or other characteristics.

Freedom of conscience and religion. It was specifically stressed that coercing employees or citizens to participate in the activities of religious organizations constitutes a gross violation of ethical norms and the law.

The seminar concluded with a discussion of practical aspects of preventing corruption risks (such as rules of conduct during business trips, inspections, and outside working hours), as well as clarifications on restrictions and prohibitions established by legislation.
