President vested with right to deprive citizen of state award
In accordance with the draft law on State Awards, Honorary Titles and State Prizes of the Kyrgyz Republic, the president receives the right to deprive a citizen of a state award. Deputy Minister of Justice Baktiyar Orozov said at a meeting of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation, State Structure, Judicial, Legal Issues and Regulations of the Parliament.
He noted that under the current legislation, only a court can deprive a citizen of a previously received state award. This right is now vested in the head of state.
In addition, the new bill proposes to introduce new awards — Hero of the Fatherland and Hero of Labor.
The committee approved the draft law in the first reading.
