During the discussion at the meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh, Erlan Kokulov noted that the reputation of deputies among citizens has significantly deteriorated, and one of the reasons for this is the conversations with ministers.

He emphasized that deputies should not approach ministers for personal interests, but only to address the problems of the population. "Sometimes we have to wait a long time at the door with security before we are received," Kokulov added.

In response, President Japarov stated that respect for deputies depends not on the cabinet of ministers or himself, but on the deputies themselves.

"If you raise insignificant issues, you disgrace yourselves in the eyes of the people. How can you expect respect if you are not dealing with serious problems? It all depends on you," he noted.

Additionally, Japarov urged the members of the government present in the hall to accept deputies when they come with work-related questions. "If they come for personal matters, you have the right to send them back. We see how some of them try to promote their interests," the president added.
