A unified register will be created in the Kyrgyz Republic to monitor inspections by state agencies

As part of the policy to reduce bureaucracy and pressure on entrepreneurs in Kyrgyzstan, it is planned to systematize state inspections and eliminate duplication of powers between agencies. This was announced at a press brunch by Azamat Kadyraliyev, deputy head of the presidential administration.

Instead of numerous scattered and duplicative inspections, a mechanism of comprehensive and commission-based inspections will be introduced. The main goal is to prevent a situation where different ministries inspect the same area without knowing about each other's actions.

“Currently, one ministry may conduct an inspection without knowing that another inspection on the same topic has already been carried out. We want information about inspections to be automatically available to other agencies,” he explained.

To this end, unified registers of scheduled inspections will be created, including in the technical, environmental, financial, tax, and sanitary and food spheres. This will ensure transparency and reduce the administrative burden on businesses.

In addition, officials drew attention to the problem of fragmentation of powers, whereby different government agencies duplicate each other's functions. This not only puts pressure on entrepreneurs and even on government employees themselves, but also diffuses responsibility.

Ayaz Baitov added that the most problematic duplication is not just bureaucracy, but a situation where inspections are used to cover up pressure.

“The same issue is handled by several agencies at once, and in the end, no one is responsible. We want to fix this,” he said.

In this regard, a proposal developed jointly with the Ministry of Economy is being discussed to conduct joint inspections in a commission format, where several agencies participate in a single inspection. At the same time, it is planned to reduce on-site inspections in favor of remote inspections, especially for large structures such as the Chamber of Accounts.

“One plan per year for a government agency is normal. But when an entity is faced with constant visits from inspectors, it becomes overwhelming. The mechanism must be systematic and not turn into a tool for exerting pressure,” the administration emphasizes.

At the same time, a complete moratorium on inspections is impossible, especially in the areas of public and food safety. However, the key task is to build a transparent and predictable system.
