The parliamentarian drew attention to the rise in fraudulent schemes on social networks causing financial damage to citizens, as well as the mass use of vapes by minors in Bishkek and the regions.
Cybercrime and Fake Pages
According to Ismanaly Zhoroev, criminals use Instagram and counterfeit websites to deceive people. Specifically, fake accounts of well-known companies, such as "Kyrgyz Concepta," are created to sell non-existent travel packages.
"Criminals create fake pages of well-known companies, such as 'Kyrgyz Concepta,' and sell non-existent travel packages. As a result, citizens lose money, and sometimes get stranded abroad without return tickets. Law enforcement agencies should investigate these facts."
As a result of such actions, citizens' bank accounts are emptied or loans are taken out in their names without their knowledge.
The Problem of Vape Sales
The MP devoted special attention to the situation with electronic cigarettes. Despite the fact that the import of vapes into Kyrgyzstan is officially prohibited by law, they continue to be sold freely.
Zhoroev demanded that law enforcement agencies and relevant departments identify who is responsible for enforcing the ban and place both issues under special control.
