Why is the president of Kyrgyzstan personally controlling the fight against corruption?
President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov expressed serious concern about the embezzlement of state funds, especially in the construction and infrastructure sectors, and addressed the public on his social media page.
What inspections did he announce?
According to the president, starting from September, a special commission of experts will be formed to inspect projects financed from the treasury — roads, buildings, and other construction works. He stated that such inspections would be under his personal control:
“We will determine how much money went through your hands, what you did, and how much you stole. Stolen funds will have to be returned tenfold and punished. Don’t forget this!”
Who is the president warning?
The message states that the identity of state employees does not matter — those guilty of corruption will be strictly punished. If someone thinks the state salary is too low, “let them go to another job, do business,” says the head of state. According to him, it is impossible to justify corruption by previous times.
What happened in Tokmok and Kara-Balta?
Japarov recalled that in 2024, 2 billion Kyrgyz soms were allocated for the improvement of these two cities. Unfortunately, these funds were not fully spent as intended. On the contrary, local leaders and contractors “have sunk into the swamp of corruption.” The additional 1 billion soms planned for next year is also at risk.
Who among the officials was detained?
On June 24, the National Security Committee detained Tokmok city mayor Maksat Nusuvaliev, the head of a construction organization, and persons responsible for the culture park. Each of them has been charged under the “Corruption” article of the Kyrgyz Criminal Code.
What warning did Japarov give?
The president emphasized that the country’s natural resources are not unlimited: “This wealth is temporary. We must ensure eternal development through tourism and production.”
Conclusion:
Sadyr Japarov has launched a serious fight against corruption in the country. Inspections under his personal control are expected to become a real test for local officials. His strict address has caused a wide public discussion, and soon the results will show how practical the government’s intentions really are. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
