President voices new government structure

President of Kyrgyzstan has voiced a new structure of government, which from now on will consist of 14 ministries.

The extended republican meeting in the White House has been predicted to be life-changing for most of parliamentary deputies, chiefs of the central and local government agencies and administrative departments.

The president said the new government structure will consist of 14 ministries – ministry of finance, justice ministry, ministry of internal affairs, ministry of emergency situations and energy, ministry of economic regulation, ministry of agriculture, ministry of natural resources, transport and communication ministry, ministry of state property, healthcare ministry, ministry of education and science, ministry of labor, employment and migration. And the fifteenth ministry - the government apparatus, which now will be cardinally different from the old one.

The new government will include monitoring, analytical, control and administrative functions and implement regulatory, territorial, internal and external policies.

“Generally speaking, the government will now work as a ministry of coordination,” Bakiev noted.

The government, in its turn, will consist of seven agencies: agency of antimonopoly regulation, environment and forestry protection, social security, communication, physical culture and sport, architecture and construction, agency of culture. More to that, the government will supervise six state service offices - border, tax, customs, punishment execution, financial intelligence, control and regulation of the financial market agencies and the two funds - a fund of material reserves and obligatory medical insurance fund.

Therewith, all committees are to be abolished in Kyrgyztan.
