A breakdown occurred at the Bishkek heating and Power Plant on January 26. The townspeople complained about slightly warm radiators and a drop in the temperature in the apartments, despite the fact that the power engineers assured that the system was gradually starting to work in its regular mode. The City Administration organized reception and accommodation points for the needy townspeople. The Prosecutor General’s Office opened a criminal case on the fact of improper performance by officials of their functions.
Later, a scandal around modernization of the heating plant broke out. Five criminal cases were opened. As part of the investigation, seven former top managers of the energy industry were arrested, including the former general director of Electric Stations OJSC Salaidin Avazov. All of them were charged with corruption.
The former Prime Minister Sapar Isakov, the ex-mayor of Bishkek Kubanychbek Kulmatov, another ex-head of the government Zhantoro Satybaldiev, the deputy of the Parliament from SDPK faction Osmonbek Artykbaev were also charged with corruption.
