According to Zaiyrbek Ergeshov, the opportunity to hold direct meetings between the President and citizens makes it possible to identify real problems in the regions, as well as to understand the needs of the population and assess the work of government bodies.

The importance of direct dialogue between the authorities and the people

The former director of the State Commission for Religious Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic noted that relying only on official reports or statistical data is not enough, since unresolved problems that are not reflected on paper may persist in the regions.

  • Direct communication with the public is the best way to learn about the real situation
  • For residents of remote areas, a personal meeting with the President is especially important
  • Topics such as roads, clean water, healthcare, education and unemployment remain relevant in rural areas

Ergeshov emphasized that at such meetings the President receives information about problems directly from residents, bypassing intermediaries. This also provides an opportunity to assess the work of local leaders.

The role of the meetings in the governance system

We should not perceive such meetings simply as listening to complaints. This is also one of the ways of demonstrating the authorities' accountability to the people.

Thus, for Ergeshov, such events serve not only to collect appeals, but also to strengthen ties between government structures and society.
