The head of the State Committee for National Security Kamchybek Tashiev invited all citizens of Kyrgyzstan to visit the new building of the «White House».

In his post on Facebook, dedicated to Independence Day, he noted that from September 2, any citizen will be able to visit the building on weekdays.

Kamchybek Tashiev noted that a passport will be required for this, and the tour itself will be available only once for each citizen.

He also responded to criticism on social media about the iron fence erected around the new building, explaining its necessity by saving on additional security measures.

«If we do not surround it with an iron fence, then I will have to hire 50-60 state security service employees additionally. Millions of funds are spent on their monthly salaries. And this is the people’s money. In order to eliminate unnecessary expenses, we put up the fence. We have never hidden from people and will not do this,» the head of the State Committee for National Security concluded.

The grand opening of the new building of the presidential administration and the Cabinet of Ministers took place on August 30. Head of State Sadyr Japarov noted that Yntymak Ordo is not only an administrative facility, but also an architectural symbol of determination and a call for friendship, unanimity and development.
