According to Zamir Ayylchyev, anti-corruption work must be systemic and address the underlying causes of corruption risks, not merely record their consequences. The expert analyzed international experience to identify key areas for reducing risks in Kyrgyzstan.
What corruption prevention in public administration should look like
In order for the results of anti-corruption policy to be visible in the lives of citizens and businesses, entrepreneurs must be able to work without unnecessary barriers, and public services must be as transparent as possible. Ayylchyev noted that successful prevention requires each agency to recognize its risks and be ready to take responsibility for reducing them.
- Eliminating excessive requirements in the work of agencies
- Reducing the time required to provide services
- Increasing the transparency of public services
- Implementing monitoring recommendations
The expert stressed that such measures, backed by the president's political will, create conditions for stable economic growth and fair competition. Stability of rules and protection of rights are critically important for investors, while accessibility of public services and fair treatment are important for citizens.
