Депутат Сулайманов отреагировал на критику президента Жапарова

Deputy Kunduzbek Sulaimanov addressed the Zhogorku Kenesh, stating that the main goal of deputies is to convey the voice of the people to the authorities. "Our main goal is to convey the voice of the people to the authorities. Based on what we say, the executive branch must take action. At the very least, it must take into account the people's discontent. What will happen if every time we speak, it's perceived as populism? As someone who has worked in this field for many years, I said that 10 months of driver's training is too long. This is not only my opinion, but also that of the people." The deputy proposed bringing the issue of driver's education reform up for public discussion. "There are very smart people, especially among the youth, who can learn and get a license in one month. Now, almost everyone has a driver's license. This is the need of the times. And it's wrong to force citizens to choose between 'if you want, study for 10 months, or if you don't want, don't study.' When we speak into the microphone, we are speaking the words of our constituents. I have always supported the government's initiatives. "And now I'm not opposing it; we're making our own proposals. Those advising us are mishandling this issue. We've said so. Insufficient work is happening everywhere, and we want to correct these shortcomings. Nothing more. We need to hold a government day and calm the tension between deputies and the executive branch. We need to resolve the accumulated issues before they escalate," the deputy said. Sulaimanov also noted that the work already done shouldn't be undone by the driver's license reform. He added that currently, no deputy needs to report to voters or demonstrate ostentatious results on the podium, as five years of work still lie ahead. On February 3, during a visit to the Unaa Center, President Sadyr Japarov responded to members of the Zhogorku Kenesh who criticized the driving school reform and the issuance of driver's licenses. "As soon as pressing issues arise in society and many people start talking about problems, some immediately rush to the microphone, trying to please the people and voters. Whether it's right or wrong, whether it's beneficial or harmful to the state—it's no longer so important. At the same time, cries of "No! Make it last for 2-3 months!" or "Leave everything as is!" inevitably arise, and the government is accused of being "enemies of the people." It feels as if some represent the people, while the state is their enemy. In this regard, I would like to appeal to members of parliament once again: when you bring an issue up for discussion, study it thoroughly. As the saying goes, measure twice, cut once. It's important to understand what real benefit a given decision will bring to the state and the people. If the government is truly making mistakes, then, of course, no one should remain silent. I was also a member of parliament twice, but I never went to the microphone and shouted like a populist," the president said.
