A criminal case was initiated against the head of Eye Microsurgery Hospital Almazbek Ismankulov and officials of the Bishkek City Hall under the article «Corruption». Press service of the Prosecutor General’s Office of Kyrgyzstan reported.
«In the course of an audit, it was established that the head of the hospital and several responsible officials of the structural divisions of the Bishkek City Hall committed criminal acts in order to illegally obtain material interests and other privileges. Despite the fact that the building of the 2nd unit of Clinical Hospital No. 6 is not subject to lease to individuals, and despite the acute shortage of hospital beds, they illegally rented it out with deliberately lowering size of the rent. As a result, the state suffered material damage in the amount of 93,162,576 soms. The investigation is ongoing,» the statement says.
Recall, the Bishkek City Hall had previously terminated the lease agreement for the building with the hospital. Its head did not agree with the decision of the official and appealed it in court. He said: if the court recognizes the unilateral termination of the contract as legal, the building will be vacated.
