- During the plenary session of the Jogorku Kenesh on February 25, 2026, Deputy Gulya Kozhokulova asked whether the government plans to create a separate ministry focused on issues of land reclamation and water resources.

In response, Acting Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Minister of Agriculture Erlis Akunbekov noted that water resource management is not just the task of one ministry, but a matter that requires a comprehensive approach at the state level.

Gulya Kozhokulova expressed the opinion that the establishment of a specialized ministry would be advisable, as the existing structure does not allow for effective resolution of issues related to irrigation and land reclamation in the regions.

This question was raised in the context of discussing Erlis Akunbekov's candidacy for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers — Minister of Agriculture of the Kyrgyz Republic.
