The buildings, which were previously part of the assets of former Prime Minister Kubanychbek Zhumaliev, are now being used as modern private educational institutions. One of these is the 'Creative-Taalim' school.
State assets and investment
Beksultan Tokonov, Director of the State Agency for Management of State Property (GAUGI) under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic, announced that these facilities are part of a broader process of returning illegally privatized objects to the state balance.
According to Tokonov, assets are being returned to state ownership through anti-corruption efforts, crackdowns on organized crime groups, or voluntary transfers. Once returned, these buildings are either transferred to other state bodies or leased to private entities.
The Director noted that the buildings were previously in a state of disrepair and unused before being repurposed for education. He added that the President has instructed officials to create favorable conditions for investors interested in building schools or kindergartens by providing land plots.
Context
In April 2021, Kubanychbek Zhumaliev, who was a deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh at that time, voluntarily transferred cash, commercial assets, and real estate to the state. The total value of these assets exceeded 1 billion soms.
