External Management of "Kum-Shagyl" Company Extended in Kyrgyzstan

The Kyrgyz government has again extended external management over the "Kum-Shagyl" company, a move aimed at rectifying serious safety and environmental concerns. The Cabinet of Ministers amended a previous resolution, pushing the external management period from April 24 to July 24, 2026.

This extension is critical for addressing significant violations in subsoil protection, environmental safety, and industrial security. The government emphasizes that these issues pose a direct threat to public health and safety. The decision reflects a commitment to enforcing regulations and ensuring that companies operate responsibly, particularly in sectors with inherent risks.

The State Agency for Public Property Management has been instructed to nominate a candidate for the temporary external manager. This appointment is vital for overseeing the company's operations during this period and ensuring compliance with all legal and safety requirements. The extension underscores the government's resolve to tackle corporate non-compliance and protect both the environment and its citizens.
