At the plenary session of the Jogorku Kenesh held on January 28, 2026, the deputies discussed and approved in the first reading a bill concerning the ratification of the Loan Agreement with the OPEC Fund for International Development. This agreement, signed on September 23, 2025, in Bishkek, is related to the program "Universal Access to Water Supply and Sanitation (Phase 1)."

The goal of the program is to provide safe drinking water and sanitation to 126 rural settlements in the Osh, Chui, and Issyk-Kul regions, which will improve the living conditions of over 425,000 people.

During the discussion, deputies, including Kamila Talieva, Zhanibek Abirov, Azamat Isirailev, Bolot Sagynaev, Ismanali Joroev, Makhabat Mavlyanova, Toktobubu Ashymbaeva, Edyta Taigaraeva, and Gulsharkan Kultaev, raised numerous questions regarding the program, emphasizing the necessary improvements in access to safe drinking water and sanitation in various regions.

The bill was approved in the first reading and is now awaiting further consideration. Its ratification will open up the possibility of attracting funds from the OPEC Fund for International Development, which is an important step in implementing the first phase of the program and in the framework of global efforts to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals in the field of water supply and sanitation.
