During the discussion, the Deputy Chairman of the State Committee for National Security, Kurvanbek Avazov, emphasized that the current legislation regarding the awarding of special ranks has led to the improper use of insignia typically associated with the military (for example, shoulder straps with stars) on the uniforms of civil servants. The main goal of the proposed bills is to regulate the wearing of these insignia, excluding the right to use them by employees of the tax and customs authorities (with some exceptions) and the prosecutor's office (with the exception of the military prosecutor's office). The system of special class ranks for employees of the prosecutor's office will remain in effect; however, militarized ranks will be abolished.
The Deputy Attorney General, Umutkan Konkubaeva, expressed the Prosecutor General's disagreement with certain provisions of the bills concerning the prosecutor's office, indicating that this could negatively impact their institutional independence.
Also participating in the discussion were deputies Kubanychbek Samakov and Nurlanbek Azygaliev, who asked a number of clarifying questions and expressed support for these bills.
