Orunbekov reminded Zhapikeev that the time for "kitchen conversations," when rumors could be spread without consequence, has long passed. "Syimyk mırza, it seems you are used to speaking without control. I urge you not to spread lies and slander," he noted.
According to him, the president himself decides whom to meet with and does not seek permission from anyone. Orunbekov emphasized that the head of state is aware of current events in the country and receives information firsthand, including speeches from delegates at the kurultai.
Moreover, he pointed out that if necessary, the president can communicate directly with local and district leaders to obtain the required data.
Orunbekov also mentioned that he himself rarely contacts the president, as his activities are related to the overall information policy, and the press secretary is close to the head of state.
In conclusion, he urged Zhapikeev to stop spreading "lies and slander," calling him a "kitchen general."
