This statement caused a wide public outcry. Tumonbaev noted that such payments fall on the shoulders of construction companies that obtain licenses, as well as on citizens purchasing housing. Builders claim that the ministry is introducing new taxes, which leads to an increase in housing prices. While the salaries of doctors and teachers will only be increased in April, their current incomes amount to only 30,000-50,000 soms. The deputy expressed dissatisfaction and suggested that this issue should first be considered by the relevant committee and then at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh.
Speaker Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu agreed with Tumonbaev's opinion. "Akylbek Toguzbaevich is right. We are being approached by construction companies. The ministry itself approved the tariffs without presenting them for the deputies' consideration, which has led to an increase in the cost per square meter. We need to discuss this and bring it into alignment," the speaker noted.
He also added that citizens are complaining about rising prices since a separate service charge in cafes and restaurants was abolished, which has affected the cost of dishes.
"This innovation has not improved the financial situation of citizens. Before implementing such reforms, an analysis should be conducted," Turgunbek uulu said.
Moreover, according to him, not only services in cafes and restaurants have become more expensive, but also taxi and hairdressing services.The deputy noted that the residents of the country are dissatisfied with the current situation and called on the Cabinet of Ministers to take active measures to regulate prices, as no measures have been taken so far. These issues will be considered in the Jogorku Kenesh in February.
