In Kyrgyzstan, officials have been banned from hiring relatives and accepting gifts.
The document was adopted within the framework of implementing the state strategy for combating corruption for 2025–2030.
In Kyrgyzstan, unified anti-corruption standards of conduct have been approved for state civil and municipal employees. This was reported by Akipress.
According to the new rules, officials are prohibited from participating in the appointment of close relatives to positions, providing them with patronage in service, and accepting gifts and rewards related to official duties.
The relevant standards were approved by the order of the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, Adilbek Kasymaliev, dated June 30, 2026.
The document was adopted as part of the implementation of the state strategy for combating corruption for 2025–2030. In accordance with it, ministries, departments, and local self-government bodies must develop and implement their own internal anti-corruption standards within three months based on the model document.
According to the new standards, state employees are also prohibited from creating special preferential conditions for certain individuals, and from using state property and official information for personal gain. Acceptance of gifts related to official duties is prohibited, with the exception of official protocol gifts, which must be transferred to the balance of the state body.
Additionally, state employees must inform their supervisor in the event of a conflict of interest and refrain from participating in making relevant decisions.
Officials who violate the requirements of the document will face disciplinary action, including measures up to dismissal. If signs of corruption or other crimes are detected, the materials will be sent to the prosecutor's office and law enforcement agencies.
