The Parliamentary Committee on Social Policy approved the candidacy of Kanybek Imanaliev for the post of Minister of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Almasbek Abytov, Permanent Representative of the President and the Cabinet of Ministers to the Parliament, introduced the candidate. He noted that Kanybek Imanaliev, a deputy of four convocations of Parliament, has two higher educations.
He is a journalist and a political scientist, Doctor of Political Sciences. Kanybek Imanaliev is a counselor of the state civil service of the 2nd class. He is fluent in Kyrgyz and Russian.
Having considered the issue, members of the committee unanimously supported the appointment of the candidate as head of the Ministry of Education.
It should be noted that ex-deputy Kanybek Imanaliev sharply criticized the reforms of the head of state Sadyr Japarov. At one time, he did not support any amendments to the Constitution, nor a return to the presidential form of government and elections in single-mandate constituencies. He believed that this was not just a rollback, it would turn Kyrgyzstan into Turkmenistan.
On February 24, the president signed a decree appointing Kanybek Imanaliev an Acting Minister of Education and Science.
