According to the investigation, employees of this agency extorted amounts ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 soms from the directors of educational institutions. This money, it is alleged, was intended for an inspector of the Accounts Chamber to conceal financial violations.
During a search in the office of one of the officials, 68,000 soms were seized, and a list of 17 educational institutions (including schools and kindergartens) with notes on the received funds was found.
On March 12, 2026, the head of the Naryn gorOO, T.U.S., was detained. The court ordered him to be placed in a temporary detention facility during the investigation. A criminal case has been opened under Article 343, Part 1 (extortion of a bribe) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The State Committee continues the investigation and is looking for other participants in this corruption scheme.
The fight against corruption in the education sector remains a key focus of the GKNB's work. Previously, the agency had already reported on the detention of officials for illegal collections and manipulations with budget funds allocated for the repair of educational institutions and the purchase of equipment.
