MP Omurbek Babanov tells who bought Jerooy

Leader of Respublika Ata Jurt faction Omurbek Babanov told today at a press conference whether he has a share in Jerooy gold project.

According to him, a license for Jerooy gold deposit was sold for 300 soms. Later, the government put it up for tender. Alliance group of companies bought it for $ 100 million. «In general, $ 190 million has been invested. All the lawsuits have been dropped. Tell me, who else has bought objects for such money?» he asked.

The deputy assured that he had no share in the project. «Why do I need tricks, schemes? I would have registered it with myself. It’s a shame that an investor meets such information. My whole business is transparent. AKB Kyrgyzstan was bought officially for $ 25 million. Over 20,000 enterprises are serviced there," Omurbek Babanov said.
