At a recent meeting of the committee of the Jogorku Kenesh, which deals with issues of finance, budget, entrepreneurship, and competition development, deputies considered amendments to the codes of Kyrgyzstan concerning non-tax revenues and offenses, as well as discussed the draft law "On the Universal Military Duty of Citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, on Military and Alternative Services."

The proposed document provides for the exclusion of specific amounts of contributions established by current legislation:


Instead of these fixed amounts, it is proposed that the sizes of contributions to the republican budget will be determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In addition, the draft law proposes to increase the fine for non-compliance with military registration rules by military personnel or conscripts tenfold — from 1,000 to 10,000 soms.

After the adoption of the draft law, it is also planned to amend subordinate legislation, which anticipates a significant increase in contributions, considering the current economic growth and inflation rate:


Deputy Minister of Defense Talaybek Sharshiev, responding to deputies' questions, reported that in 2024, due to all fees provided by law, the budget received 1 billion 200 million soms, of which about 700 million soms was allocated to the Ministry of Defense.

Deputy Dastan Bekeshev proposed to approve the draft law but with a one-year delay in its implementation to "avoid creating a negative mood among people before the presidential elections."

As a result of the discussion, the draft law was approved in the first reading.
