Amendments are being made to the law on the status of the ex-president of Kyrgyzstan

The draft law amending the law "On Guarantees of the Activities of the President and the Status of the Former President" has been presented to the Jogorku Kenesh.
The proposed changes allow for the allocation of land plots on the territory of the presidential state residence, but only in exceptional cases to meet the social needs of citizens. The allocation will be possible at the decision of the head of state and in accordance with the procedure established by land legislation, with the involvement of the cabinet of ministers.

According to the explanatory note, the initiative was prompted by appeals from residents of the village of Chon-Aryk, where there is a shortage of educational institutions such as schools and kindergartens. To address this issue, it is proposed to allocate a plot of 10.48 hectares on the territory of state residence No. 1 for the construction of social and educational facilities.

The authors of the draft law emphasize that the current version of the law completely prohibits the allocation of land in the residence, which creates difficulties in addressing pressing social issues. At the same time, a special protection regime will be maintained, and the decisions made will take into account safety requirements. If the draft law is adopted, it will come into force ten days after its official publication.
