On March 24, 2022, the first meeting of the Advisory Board on the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs and Investors at the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Kyrgyz Republic was held at Ala-Archa State Residence No. 1, in which the Prosecutor General, Kurmankul Zulushev, the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Kyrgyz Republic, Nazira Beishenalieva, Business Ombudsman, Robin Ord-Smith, the representatives of the executive branch and representatives of leading business communities.

The creation of the Advisory Board aims to build an effective mechanism for interaction between the state and the business community to protect the rights of entrepreneurs and investors.

“In recent years, we have witnessed the initiation of many criminal cases against business entities, as well as business owners. The interference of law enforcement agencies in the activities of companies is a bad precedent and gives rise to high distrust of investors in the state and its policies. Unsubstantiated suspicions, investigative actions related to the seizure of accounts and property of the enterprise, searches and seizures, during which all financial documents are seized, cause tremendous harm to enterprises, “said Nazira Beishenalieva, the Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce.

It should be noted that this platform was created on the initiative of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the American Chamber of Commerce in the Kyrgyz Republic and the Institute of Business Ombudsman.

The business community, engaging in the work of this site, expects close cooperation from the Prosecutor General’s Office and prompt consideration of information received from the business community.
