The reason for the heightened interest in Akunbekov lies in his significant role in the agricultural sector over the past few years. He actively interacts with farming enterprises, heads a large company engaged in fertilizer supply, and often comments on pressing industry issues, including credit burdens and the lack of processing. Experts increasingly express the opinion that his business experience could be beneficial at the level of state policy.
Despite the active discussion of this topic, no official statements regarding changes in the government have been made so far. The ministry continues to operate with its current composition, and rumors about possible personnel changes remain at the level of unofficial conversations. In particular, this morning, Bakyt Torobaev held a meeting of the Republican Commission dedicated to preparations for the agricultural census scheduled for 2026.
Erlis Akunbekov hails from Osh, and he is a graduate of Osh State University and the Moscow State University of Management. He currently heads the agribusiness company ATS-Group and is the chairman of the Fertilizer Suppliers Association. Akunbekov actively supports farming enterprises and promotes modern management methods, emphasizing support for domestic producers.
Rumors about the possible resignation of Bakyt Torobaev began to circulate actively after the recent resignation of former head of the State National Security Committee Kamchybek Tashiev. A new impetus for the discussions was provided by the leak of an audio recording mentioning his name. Later, Bakyt Torobaev himself denied his involvement in the events mentioned in the recording.
