The First Deputy Minister of Defense Talaybek Sharshiev explained that this draft law was created to determine a fixed amount of contributions for alternative service, as well as to collect a mobilization reserve and prepare reserve officers. In particular, it is planned to increase fines for violations in military registration, which, according to the deputies, may negatively affect citizens.
During the discussion, the deputies expressed concerns about the increase in contributions, considering it unacceptable. Kamila Talieva emphasized the importance of accounting for citizens' incomes in the regions, while Elvira Surabaldiyeva questioned the feasibility of raising contributions against the backdrop of corruption schemes in the Military Commissariats. Ilimbek Kubanychbekov noted that such measures could lead to social inequality, granting the right to alternative service only to wealthy citizens.
Who will feel this? Low-income families. It’s sad. A rich person will pay 75,000 right away, while a poor person will suffer. But to maintain a golden mean, I propose to adopt it in the first reading, and in the second reading to postpone the implementation. At least for one year. Let the presidential elections take place. I am speaking frankly now. You cannot do this right now. People's mood is already very bad due to the sharp rise in prices. Reports everywhere say that GDP is growing, but nowhere does it mention how sharply food prices have risen.

Talaybek Sharshiev also reported that in 2025, the ministry collected about 750 million soms for alternative service, which is 36 million more compared to the previous year. Deputy Ulanbek Zhaanbaev focused on the process of undergoing alternative service and the mobilization reserve.
Additionally, during the meeting, the committee approved the draft law on the ratification of the Temporary Trade Agreement between the Eurasian Economic Union and Mongolia, signed on June 27, 2025, in Minsk.
