A girl orphaned with a disability in the Chuy region will receive social assistance in the amount of 518,000 soms thanks to the intervention of the Ombudsman. This was reported by the Ombudsman Institute of the Kyrgyz Republic.
In 2025, employees of this institute conducted an inspection of the living conditions of children in orphanages in the region, revealing a number of violations and providing recommendations for their elimination.
During the monitoring, it became known that some orphans had not received the state payments due to them.
The girl M.B., born in 2008, has been living in an orphanage in the Chuy region with her sister since 2017 after the death of their parents.
She was recognized as disabled by the medical and social expert commission (MSEC) in 2015, where she was assigned benefits and recommended for psychiatric observation and training under an inclusive program.
However, after being transferred to the orphanage in 2017, the payments were stopped because the girl did not undergo a re-examination.
For eight years, no steps were taken to undergo the commission again.
The Ombudsman of the Kyrgyz Republic, Jamilya Jamambaeva, appealed to the General Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Migration, requesting increased oversight of the rights of orphaned children and the reimbursement of unpaid benefits.
As a result of the investigation, the Ministry of Labor took disciplinary measures against the responsible employees, and the girl's benefits were restored from 2017 until May 1, 2026. Consequently, 518,000 soms will be transferred to her deposit account.
The Ombudsman emphasized that according to Article 17 of the Code "On Children," ensuring the rights of children is the responsibility of state authorities and local self-government.
