Kamchybek Tashiev commented on the circumstances surrounding the death of Amir Kunakunov. In his view, in such emergency situations, a high-ranking official is obliged to be present directly at the site of the operation.
Requirements for leadership
During the discussion of the incident, it was emphasized that the current minister should have exercised direct leadership of the actions on-site. Tashiev noted that the absence of a leader at a critical moment could entail personal responsibility.
"The minister should have led the operation on-site — otherwise, he will be held accountable!"
Information regarding Tashiev's position was circulated on social media by Atkurbek Rahmanov, who addressed the First Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, reminding him of his past experience serving as the Minister of Emergency Situations.
