The Committee on Constitutional Legislation, Local Self-Government, and the Regulations of the Jogorku Kenesh discussed and approved in the first reading the draft law "On Amendments to the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic 'On the Procedure for Considering Citizens' Appeals'."
This draft law was presented by a group of deputies, which includes Baktyyar Kalpaev, Kubanychbek Samakov, Ravshanbek Rysbaev, Azamat Isirailov, Temirlan Aitieva, Ilimbek Kubanychbekov, Mederbek Chotonov, Gulzhan Satieva, Cholpon Esenamanova, Alisher Kozuev, Venera Salyamova, and Gulsunkhan Junushalieva.
Kalpaev, one of the initiators, emphasized that the main goal of the amendments is to improve the speed and efficiency of the process of considering citizens' appeals, which is particularly relevant in the context of the digitalization of public administration. He noted that thanks to modern technologies and automation, it is possible to significantly reduce the time for considering appeals to 10 working days without compromising quality.
However, representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers expressed doubts about the feasibility of adopting this draft law, pointing out that state bodies may not be able to adequately consider appeals within such a short time frame.
Deputy Gulsharkan Kultaev emphasized that the quality of decisions on appeals and the control over their implementation are more important than the time frames.
On the other hand, Dastan Bekeshev noted that often the responses of state bodies to citizens' appeals are unclear and supported the draft law, adding that the "Tunduk" system lacks responses to appeals.
In addition, the committee also discussed and approved the draft law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Kyrgyz Republic on Issues of Inheriting Electronic Money" in the first reading.
The main goal of this draft law is to eliminate legal gaps in the regulation of electronic money, recognize it as an object of civil rights, and ensure the possibility of inheritance in accordance with the law.
