One of those who left their position was Absattar Syrgabaev, the Minister of Transport, who had held this position since June 2024. According to media reports, he is a "okul bala" (adopted son) of Kamchybek Tashiev, which made him a close associate of the head of the special services.
In addition, the president dismissed the Minister of Emergency Situations Boobek Azhikeev, who had led the agency since 2020, as well as the Minister of Ecology Meder Mashiev.
Acting officials have already been appointed to replace the dismissed ministers, and their candidacies will be proposed to the Jogorku Kenesh. The head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations is now former Deputy Minister Urmatbek Shamyrkanov, while the Ministry of Nature is headed by Akyl Toktobaev, who previously served as the director of the State Enterprise "State Geology".
The most discussed appointment was the recruitment of Talantbek Soltobaev to the Ministry of Transport. He previously held the position of First Deputy Minister, but was detained in September of this year on the orders of Kamchybek Tashiev.
