Recent proposals to create a commission for reviewing cases investigated by the GKNB over the past five years have sparked active discussions in the information space. The special service commented on this initiative as follows:
There is an established legal procedure.
According to the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic, the foundations of state power are the principle of separation of functions and powers among various state bodies.
Under the norms of criminal procedural legislation, the prosecutor's office is responsible for overseeing the legality of investigations conducted by investigative bodies such as the GKNB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while judicial bodies deal with issues of justice.
It is important to note that in accordance with Article 8 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic, only the relevant courts can verify and review sentences and other decisions in criminal cases, while procedural decisions made by investigators can be reviewed and overturned by the supervisory authority.
Thus, the creation of any commission to review criminal cases contradicts constitutional principles, as the legislation strictly prohibits interference in the investigative and judicial process.
At the same time, in accordance with the directives of the head of state, a reform is being implemented in the GKNB that affects almost all aspects of its work.
The reform of the GKNB of the Kyrgyz Republic is aimed at adapting to modern challenges and threats, improving operations in the field of intelligence and counterintelligence, combating terrorism and extremism, as well as eradicating corruption and fighting organized crime, ensuring the information and economic security of the country.
The GKNB performs its functions strictly within the framework of the law, respecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, which are protected by the Constitution.
