The Jogorku Kenesh adopted a bill on the ratification of the Loan Agreement with the Saudi Development Fund for "Construction of Public Schools" Phase 2.
As part of the implementation of this project, it is planned to attract 187,500,000 Saudi riyals, which amounts to approximately 50,000,000 US dollars. The loan term is 25 years, with the first 5 years being a grace period, at an annual interest rate of 1.5%. The funding will be directed towards the construction of five new schools and seven additional educational buildings in Bishkek, as well as two new schools in the Chui region, each designed for 150-1000 student places. The project is expected to start in 2026 and be completed in 2029, including two years for construction and one year for warranty service.
Additionally, the deputies also reviewed a draft law on the ratification of an agreement with the OPEC Fund for International Development regarding the "Universal Access to Water Supply and Sanitation (Phase 1)" program, which was signed on September 23, 2025, in Bishkek. This draft law was adopted in the first reading.
The "Universal Access to Water Supply and Sanitation (Phase 1)" program aims to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation in 126 villages in the Osh, Chui, and Issyk-Kul regions, which will provide clean water to over 425,000 people.
During the discussion of the draft law, the deputies, including Kamila Talieva, Zhanibek Abirov, Azamat Isirailov, Bolot Sagynaev, Ismanali Zhoroev, Mahabat Mavlyanova, Toktobubu Ashymbaeva, Edyta Taygareva, and Gulsharkan Kultaev, clarified the details of the program, emphasizing issues related to improving access to safe drinking water and sanitation in specific regions.
