Kyrgyzstan’s President Stresses For Radical Reforms in Energy Ministry

According to the Kyrgyzstan's President, Almazbek Atambayev, Bakiyev's schemes still dominate Kyrgyzstan's energy system. He said this during a meeting of the Defense Council of Kyrgyzstan today.

Two issues are likely to be discussed today, including state of the energy system and actions required for further improvement. Moreover, he said to focus on concept of strengthening the unity and interethnic relations in Kyrgyzstan.

He said, "I went through figures of last year, Severelectro bought electric energy for 18.5 tyiyns, paid for transit 14.5 tyiyns and sold it to people for 70 tyiyns and 1.5 soms to commercial companies".

It emerged from the statistics that the companies made profits of nearly 120% from citizens. So, how could there be complaints of losses despite having such a high profitability, asked the President.

"If we receive $ 300 million from sale of Dzheruy, the money must be spent on solution of urgent issues. Take loans for energy system, irrigation and roads. Do not be afraid, attract investments to these questions", he said, while addressing the Prime Minister Zhantoro Satybaldiyev.

The heads of energy companies were fired, including state ones, after April 7, 2010, but still it has not served as a deterrent to completely eradicate the corruption from the energy system, said the president.
