Kenzhe, the wife of former IV convocation MP Maksat Kunanakov, who is currently in custody on fraud charges, has sent an appeal to the head of state. According to her, the family is under pressure, and third parties may be interfering in the criminal investigation.
Fraud and property seizure allegations
In her appeal, the woman identified Abdymanap Begishev (known as Manap) and Ulukbek Yrysbekov as individuals involved in the criminal prosecution of her husband. Kenzhe claims these men gained Kunanakov's trust and used deception to transfer the family business and the house where the family resides into their own names.
According to the wife's statement, after seizing the property, these individuals secured Kunanakov's detention. She also alleged possible influence over the course of the investigation:
"Currently, the investigation is being conducted unfairly and one-sidedly. It has become known that a person nicknamed Manap is exerting great influence on this case"
Furthermore, she reported that Begishev uses the President's name and cites connections within Sadyr Japarov's inner circle to exert pressure on investigative authorities.
Consequences for the family
The former parliamentarian's arrest has taken a severe toll on his loved ones. The Kunanakov family is raising children:
Kenzhe emphasized that Maksat was always actively involved in raising and supervising the children, and his absence has directly impacted the family's well-being.
