Kyrgyz Parliament Adjourns for Summer Recess

The Jogorku Kenesh, Kyrgyzstan's parliament, has adjourned for its summer break after completing the first session of its 8th convocation. Lawmakers will return to their duties in September.

During the session, which began earlier this year, the parliamentarians were active in legislative work. A total of 145 draft laws were considered and adopted. Of these, 94 have received presidential approval and become law.

The legislative initiatives came from various sources. The Cabinet of Ministers submitted the largest number of draft laws, totaling 115. Members of the Jogorku Kenesh themselves introduced 23 draft laws, while the President's office put forward 6, and the General Prosecutor's Office submitted one.

Parliament Speaker Marlen Mamataliev addressed the assembly, summarizing the session's outcomes. He highlighted that a number of significant laws aimed at improving the country's socio-economic situation were adopted. Following the conclusion of the session, an orchestra performed the national anthem in the assembly hall.
