As reported by First Deputy Minister of Defense Talaybek Sharshiev, in 2024, an income of 714 million soms is expected, and in 2025—around 750 million soms.
Bekeshev noted that even without an increase in fees, these amounts are quite substantial.
He expressed doubt about the feasibility of increasing the fees, pointing out that it would primarily impact low-income families. "Why increase the fees? This will negatively affect those who are already struggling. Wealthy people will be able to pay, but the poor will suffer. I propose to pass the law in the first reading, and in the second—to postpone it for a year. Let the presidential elections happen first. We can't do this now, when people are already in a bad mood due to rising prices. While reports talk about GDP growth, no one mentions how much food prices have increased. The middle class is already starting to count their food expenses. This law will only worsen the financial burden on citizens. 750 million this year is enough for now," he added.
Deputy Chair of the Committee Kamila Talieva commented on Bekeshev's statements, noting: "Dastan Dalabaevich, everything has been said openly."
