in Corruption / Kyrgyzstan - by


The Minister of Health has responded to accusations of corruption made by parliament member Jusupbek Korgonbay uulu, clarifying that the information being spread is false. Alymkadyr Beyshenaliev stated that the claims regarding his wife and family owning multiple cars registered under different names are untrue. He emphasized that his wife's name is Zemira Marlenovna Kulmatova and his daughter's name is Saltanat Alymkadyrovna Beyshenalieva.

Regarding his wife's health, Beyshenaliev explained that she has been battling cancer for the past two years, receiving treatment in Turkey and currently undergoing chemotherapy in Russia. He expressed concern over the negative impact of false information being spread online, especially on someone who is ill. The Minister urged individuals to verify information before spreading rumors.

Previously, Jusupbek Korgonbay uulu had accused the Minister of Health of having ties to organized crime and corruption during a parliamentary session. A parliamentary commission has been established to investigate the Ministry of Health's activities in response to these allegations.

On March 14, during a parliamentary session, Jusupbek Korgonbay uulu referred to the Minister of Health as a "black surgeon" and alleged his involvement with organized crime. The parliament member also claimed that mortality rates in hospitals have increased since the Minister took office.

Minister of Health Alymkadyr Beyshenaliev responded to the accusations, stating that he provides medical assistance to all patients regardless of their social status. He noted that the real issue for the parliament member is that he desired to hold the position of Minister of Health himself.
