Speaking at a national meeting with presidential representatives, mayors of Bishkek and Osh, and heads of law enforcement and judicial bodies, Japarov declared, "If you are afraid to take responsibility or make decisions, then you must give way to those who are ready to do so." He stressed that officials should cease reporting only general development figures for their regions and instead concentrate on resolving issues that have troubled residents for years.

From now on, do not just boast about the general achievements of the region. You should only be proud of solved long-term problems, developing territories, and a population that supports the government and is satisfied with its work.

He added that citizens' demands are not excessive, emphasizing, "No one is asking you to reach for the stars. Ordinary people want only one thing: for the law to work, and for civil servants to act responsibly, correctly, precisely, and in a timely manner."
