In his interview on February 19, 2026, Akayev noted that he gladly took on his new responsibilities. “We will be open to communication with residents, journalists, and bloggers. Our work will be characterized by transparency and accessibility. I accepted this position when the country's leadership entrusted it to me. Osh is a city where I spent my student years, and I know it well. I am ready to put all my efforts into my work, fully aware of the responsibility,” said the mayor.
Jenyshbek Toktorbaev worked hard for the benefit of the city, and we plan to continue his initiatives. I do not intend to criticize my predecessors; on the contrary, we will complete all the important projects that were started by Jenyshbek Shermamатович. During our meeting with the president, we discussed key aspects of the development of Osh.
Akayev emphasizes the need to revise the approach to interaction with entrepreneurs and to call for honesty in work. The president has tasked him with acting within the framework of honesty and avoiding any manifestation of tribalism. “Our goal is to create the most comfortable conditions for the residents of the city. We have several of our own projects that we will discuss with the city council,” he added.
