Bishkek:President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov has issued a severe reprimand to Minister of Emergency Situations Kanatbek Chynybaev. The head of state signed an order enacting this disciplinary measure.

According to 24.kg News Agency, the reprimand was imposed due to Chynybaev's improper performance of his assigned duties, as stated by the presidential administration. However, the official statement did not specify the particular violations that led to this action.

The scrutiny on the Ministry of Emergency Situations intensified after the tragic death of 14-year-old Amir Kunakunov, who went missing in the Ala-Archa Gorge. The teenager's body was later discovered, prompting public criticism of the ministry and calls for Chynybaev's resignation.
