Kyrgyz ruling parliament faction to consider PM candidature.
BISHKEK, October 21 (Itar-Tass) - The ruling parliamentary faction of the Ak-Zhol party that holds 71 of the total 90 deputy mandates will hold a meeting in Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday to discuss the candidature of Daniyar Usenov for the post of the country's prime minister.
The Ak-Zhol political
council told Itar-Tass that its leaders on Tuesday decided to recommend
Usenov for the Kyrgyz government head.
Usenov had earlier headed Bishkek mayor's office and then headed the
administration of the Kyrgyzstan head of state. The former Kyrgyz
government with Igor Chudinov in the head voluntarily resigned on October
20 at an extraordinary meeting in which President Kurmanbek Bakiyev took
part. Several hours before, the head of state announced his intention to
cardinally reform the system of the republic's administration bodies. He
proposed to establish the Institute of the president that will include the
staff of the republic's head, secretariat, the central agency for the
development of innovations and investments, the state adviser for defence,
security and law and order, as well as the state minister of foreign
affairs. He also proposed to cut the structure of the government to 14
ministries, 7 agencies and 6 services.
