The President of Kyrgyzstan signed a decree, according to which Alymkadyr Beishenaliev was dismissed from the post of the Minister of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic.

One of the most scandalous officials in Kyrgyzstan, Minister of Health Alymkadyr Beishenaliev, intended to return to the post of head of the ministry. The criminal case against him was dismissed due to the lack of evidence.

In total, the Prosecutor General’s Office opened seven criminal cases against the Health Minister Alymkadyr Beishenaliev: one — on corruption, two — on extortion of a bribe, four — on abuse of official position and conclusion of a knowingly unprofitable contract.

Alymkadyr Beishenaliev told 24.kg news agency that he was ready to return and reminded that he was only temporarily suspended from work. «As soon as the president decides, I am ready to return to work and continue the reform,» he said. The President announced his decision.
