Before discussing the document, Deputy Kamila Talieva addressed President Sadyr Japarov with a request to retain titles such as Honored Doctor, Honored Teacher, and People's Poet.
The President noted that previously titles were sold for 5,000 to 10,000 dollars, and this was known. During the audit, it was revealed that some people became People's Artists after performing just two songs, while true specialists, such as aksakals and baybiche, did not receive awards despite their many years of work. This deviation was corrected — about 200-300 people were awarded, Japarov added.
According to him, the presidential administration proposed to reduce the number of titles from 47 to 20, leaving the parliament the right to add or, conversely, reduce them to ten.
According to the approved bill, honorary titles will be awarded to both citizens of Kyrgyzstan and foreigners or stateless persons who have made significant contributions to the development of a specific field or area of activity in the republic.
State prizes will be awarded to citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic for outstanding discoveries and scientific achievements, as well as for significant and original creative works.
The project provides for the introduction of the following categories of state awards.
1. State award of the highest category – "Кыргыз Республикасынын Эл Баатыры" ("Hero of the Kyrgyz Republic");
2. State award of a special category – "Эмгек Баатыры" ("Hero of Labor").
