Analysis of activities of the outgoing parliament convocation

“During the period of the current parliament, political parties built into the state system did not evolve from the machines to attract votes during elections to the organizations that could successfully operate between elections, conduct a systematic and effective communication with the electorate. The credibility of the parties, according to the survey of the population in recent years, either increased or decreased, but, on average, less than half of the respondents trusted this political institution”, said Medet Tiulegenov, Head of “International and Comparative Politics» department at the AUCA, in an article written exclusively for cabar.asia.

Amendments to the Constitution will benefit only the political elites

“It is obvious that in order to fight corruption, it is not necessary to change the Constitution; other measures are needed. In order to improve the work of the political parties, there is no need to change the constitution, it is necessary to change the parties themselves, or rather their qualitative component. We need to work on ideas, on the formation of the party elite. It is all much more complicated than just changing the Basic Law”, said Tamerlan Ibraimov, PhD in law, director of the Center for Political and Legal Studies, in an article written exclusively for cabar.asia.

Low confidence in the government is explained by the lack of change

“To raise the authority of the government, Kyrgyzstan urgently needs managers who know how to set goals and achieve them, strictly protecting national interests and having expert way of thinking. Change of elites is not to be held according to the criteria of age, but according to the criteria of professional skills and merit. This is not about tens or hundreds, but about thousands of new leaders of Kyrgyzstan at all levels, who can in principle solve any problems in a new way. This will greatly enhance public confidence in the government”, said Zainidin Kurmanov, Professor, Doctor of Historical Sciences (Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek), in an article written exclusively for cabar.asia.
