At today's oath-taking ceremony for the newly appointed ministers, President Sadyr Japarov addressed the deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh.

Deputy Ulan Primov, commenting on the meeting in an interview with the "Kabar" agency, emphasized that the communication with the president occurred in an atmosphere of complete transparency and openness.

According to him, the format of direct communication with Sadyr Japarov allowed for a detailed examination of important issues on the spot, and the deputies received clear, specific, and convincing answers to their questions.

President and Parliament: Honest Dialogue in the Interests of the Country
“The Kyrgyz people have a proverb: ‘Let’s sit in a row and talk nicely,’ which implies an honest and open conversation. This time, the meeting with the president took place in a question-and-answer format, where deputies raised the most pressing issues of society.

In particular, issues regarding the revision of social benefits, mortgage lending, the independence of the judicial system, as well as the activities of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and other topics that concern the population were discussed. Clear and well-founded answers were provided by the president to all questions. The deputy noted that such dialogues are an excellent practice that should be continued in the future.

Ulan Primov also added that the parliament plays an important role in the economic development of the country and emphasized the need for further interaction with the executive branch.

“It can be confidently stated that positive changes in the country have become possible due to the timely adoption of laws by the parliament in partnership with the executive branch. The president also noted that both the legislative and executive branches must act in the interests of the state and the people. Our task as deputies is to address not only local issues but also to propose national initiatives and draft laws that will contribute to qualitative changes in the country,” the deputy added.

As Deputy Kemel Ashyraliev noted, both the president and the parliament represent the interests of the people and must be in contact with public opinion.

He also emphasized that elected representatives should not only engage in law-making but also express the voice of the people on issues of domestic and foreign policy, and the president, as the guarantor of the Constitution, should maintain constant interaction with the Jogorku Kenesh.

“I believe that direct dialogue between the president and the parliament is the right decision. In the process of state development, questions constantly arise that need to be discussed. Therefore, such meetings are simply necessary to address issues of domestic and foreign policy, the economy, and improving the standard of living for citizens. Regular meetings will help with this,” noted Kemelbek Ashyraliev.

At the same time, he added that the issues raised at such meetings should be significant.

This is because society actively discusses both problems and the behavior of deputies, which at certain moments serves as an indicator of their professionalism.

“Among the deputies, there are experienced and educated professionals who have held key positions and understand economics and foreign policy. However, there are also young deputies who sometimes ask questions that do not meet the approval of the people. If they only raise personal issues, it can cause discontent. The president, in answering questions, sees the level of each deputy, and that is why it is necessary to raise serious topics that concern the interests of the state,” emphasized Kemelbek Ashyraliev.

In his speech at the Jogorku Kenesh, President Sadyr Japarov emphasized the need to work in harmony for the interests of the state and the people, reminding of the importance of fulfilling the oath and obligations to citizens.
