Pension of the former head of Kyrgyzstan Almazbek Atambayev is 100,000 soms. The Head of the Social Fund of Kyrgyzstan Meder Irsaliev told today at a press conference.

The official noted that the pension was still accrued. Meder Irsaliev referred to the law on the status of ex-president of the Kyrgyz Republic.

«This law spells out: pension of an ex-head of the state is set in the amount of 75 percent of the last salary. As soon as we receive a court decision on depriving Almazbek Atambayev of the status of ex-president, the Social Fund will stop accruing it,» he explained.

The head of the Social Fund also added that pensions of all ex-presidents (obviously, having in mind Roza Otunbayeva as well) exceeded 100,000 soms.
