According to the press service of the Jogorku Kenesh, educational institutions that take prize-winning places in this campaign will receive significant awards. The competition, dedicated to the collection of plastic waste, will run from March 1 to May 1, 2026, and the educational institution that collects the most plastic will be declared the winner.
Mamataliyev emphasized the importance of this project, noting that it will continue the environmental initiatives proposed by President Sadyr Japarov.
"In recent years, President Sadyr Japarov has put forward many significant initiatives in the field of environmental protection, combating climate change, and developing a green economy. Many activities are currently being implemented. I am confident that the 'Clean City' competition will become part of these initiatives and help improve the environmental situation in our capital," he noted.
The Speaker expressed hope for success for the competition participants and added that similar initiatives should be spread to the regions.
"This competition not only improves the cleanliness of our city but also inspires future generations to be patriotic, caring, and attentive to environmental issues. Labor is the foundation of our children's future; it shapes their responsibility to society. Therefore, it is important to develop such projects in other regions as well. We must strive for our country to become a green and prosperous state. As our great predecessor Iskak Razzakov said: 'If you are clean, if I am clean, then society will be clean.' Each of us must take care of nature and contribute to the overall development of the country," he added.
The implementation of the project is carried out with the support of the Jogorku Kenesh, the Bishkek city administration, the State Agency for Physical Culture and Sports under the Cabinet of Ministers, and the Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan.
