Constitutional Reform

By Akylbekov Mirambek

At present citizens of Kyrgyz Republic desperately need to be supported by the government from economic, political points of view. Experience shows that there will be no future in our country if the current situations go on. For example, the present political disorders proves that such actions lead to mass poverty unemployment and emigration of people to the foreign countries where they can live freely without fear and violation.

During the Revolution many people went bankrupt and they had nothing to do because thieves looted their businesses, they remained without nothing. So as result of this process a lot of foreign investors left our country; they became afraid of losing their own investments.

Personally, I was the witness of terrible events. One of these my acquaintance went bankrupt only because of his disability of controlling his own business. He got money on credit in sum of $1000 and opened a small business in the central part of Bishkek. The crowd of looters did not leave him without attention.

In order to stop this process we should have a plan for achieving people’s goals especially in economical affairs. The steps which we should use towards the happening situations are: 1) holding a constitutional reforms to keep a balance between the branches of government so that they can work responsibly.
2) Attracting foreign investment. For it we are required to make a favorable investment climate so that they can invest in our economy for long-range purpose.

The people of Kyrgyzstan desperately need to stabilize our political and economical situations. Instability on a state scale affects the personal lives of individuals and consequently leads to big crisis. However the main problem I think is uprooting corruption and racketeering. Mafia in the government slows the development of the country.

My neighbor, like many other businesses, suffered from looting after the events of March 24th. Now he is going to leave Kyrgyzstan because in Kazakhstan better conditions for business are offered to him. Here Aibek had to sell the most part of his property to pay his debts. In addition, for a very long time he suffered from racketeering and corruption. He tired from such things and now I’m losing my friend. What will we, the citizens of Kyrgyzstan do when we lose all the businessmen who invested in our economy?

I believe - I want to believe - that someday my country will become prosperous; to achieve the goal we should undertake some actions.

First of all there is need to pursue constitution reform, to balance power between the branches of government. In this case, the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government will be afraid of each other and will work accordingly. Second, we should create a favorable business climate for entrepreneurship - particularly to accept low tax rates and to delete bureaucracy.
