Who is Erlis Akunbekov and why is he being considered for Minvodselprom
In recent days, political circles have been actively discussing the possibility of appointing Erlis Akunbekov as the head of the Ministry of Water Resources, Agriculture, and Processing Industry. This position is currently held by Bakyt Torobaev, who is also the Deputy Prime Minister.

Interest in Akunbekov has increased due to his active involvement in the agricultural sector, where he has established himself as a prominent expert. He manages a large company that supplies fertilizers and closely collaborates with farmers, consistently raising important industry issues such as financing and the lack of processing. In expert circles, there is an increasing opinion that his business experience could be beneficial at the level of government administration.

However, no official decisions regarding a change in leadership at the ministry have been made yet. The current staff of the agency continues its work, and discussions about possible personnel changes remain unofficial. For example, this morning, Bakyt Torobaev held a meeting within the framework of the Republican Commission, which is preparing for the agricultural census scheduled for 2026.

Erlis Akunbekov is originally from Osh and is a graduate of Osh State University and the Moscow State University of Management. In recent years, he has actively represented the interests of the agricultural sector, promoting modern management approaches and supporting local producers.

Rumors about the possible resignation of Bakyt Torobaev began to circulate after the dismissal of former head of the State National Security Committee, Kamchybek Tashiev. New rumors emerged in connection with the leak of an audio recording mentioning Torobaev's name. In response, he stated that he was not involved in the events discussed in the recording.
