Deputies noted that Talantbek Soltobaev has significant experience working in the Ministry of Transport and is known as a highly qualified specialist in his field.
As a result, the elected representatives decided not to hold additional discussions and quickly approved his candidacy for the head of the Ministry of Transport.
Soltobaev has held the position of Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications since 2021. In September 2025, he was detained by the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) in connection with an investigation into the repair of Sheraliyev Street in Naryn.
It is worth noting that Soltobaev's predecessor, Absattar Syrgabaev, left his position on February 16.
