Roza Otunbayeva: Money laundering schemes in the Kyrgyz energy sector were favorable to the former regime

“Money laundering schemes in the Kyrgyz energy sector were favorable to the former regime. That is why the initiative of transparency needs to be created in the sector,” the president for transitional period Roza Otunbayeva stated at the international conference dedicated to this topic.

According to her, “the Revolution of 2010 showed that the accumulated experience in the industry went into the certain pockets. The Initiative of sector’s transparency was created for the mining industry. Now this principle can be applied in energy sector as well,” explained Roza Otunbayeva.

She noted that the power circuit entirely provides the population. “We make a lot of things for transparency in energy sector. The whole complex of measures showed that the losses fell by 5.7 percent in comparison with the last year. Technical staff is also entangled by corruption. All shamelessly and brutally fleeced the own tax,” said Roza Otunbayeva.
