BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, January 13. Some public
services in Kyrgyzstan may be provided by private companies without
public procurement, Trend reports via the Press Service of the Parliament
of Kyrgyzstan.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce of the Kyrgyz Republic has
proposed simplifying the rules for providing state and municipal
services. The draft law amending the Law “On State and Municipal
Services” was presented at a meeting of the Jogorku Kenesh
(Parliament of Kyrgyzstan) committee on constitutional legislation,
state structure, local self-government, and regulations by Deputy
Minister of Economy Choro Seyitov.
The proposed legislation seeks to cut through the red tape in
the public services system and boost their effectiveness. Under the
proposed changes, state and municipal institutions would be able to
delegate the provision of services, or individual stages of service
delivery, to private legal entities and individuals not through the
public procurement mechanism but under a separate procedure to be
approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. Pricing and compliance with
service standards will remain under state control.
The draft also prohibits requesting documents from citizens and
businesses that are already held by state agencies and can be
accessed through the inter-agency "Tunduk" electronic system.
Furthermore, the proposal simplifies service standards by
reducing the number of mandatory requirements and removes the need
for mandatory approval of administrative regulations, strengthening
the role of internal regulations within state bodies.
The draft law also clarifies the provision of paid public
services: free services will continue under the state order, while
services beyond the established quota may be provided on a paid
basis. For certain categories of services, fees above cost may be
set to update technical and material resources and improve service
quality.
