Deputy Tabyldy Muratbekov stated the undesirability of increasing electricity tariffs for mosques, equating them with tariffs for commercial institutions. This statement was made at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh.

According to him, such a notification has already been received from the Ministry of Energy by the mosques in the Tyup district.

Muratbekov emphasized that mosques are not commercial entities, and it will be difficult for them to cope with the new financial requirements. He noted that in Bishkek, the situation might be easier due to a larger number of congregants and donations, while in villages, mosques may face serious difficulties. In this regard, the deputy urged to keep the tariffs at the level that currently exists.
