Депутаттык Азилдер – Page 8/9 (6/7)

Mr. Dzhumgalbek Amanbaev used to be the First Secretary of Communist Party organization in the Issyk-Kul Region in 1990. Climbing up the communist party career ladder he served his duties as a deputy in the High Council of the SSSR. When the Party died he finally reached its top, succeeding Abzamat Masaliev as First Secretary of the Kyrgyz KP in April 1991. When voted for as premier in 1993 by the deputies in the Zhogorku Kenesh, president Akaev probably remembered Amanbaev’s support for the August Putsch and nominated second Apas Dzhumagulov, placing Amanbaev only Vice-Premier. Abdyrakhmanov remembers Amanbaevs reputation at the dawn of independence, being hailed by deputies from the Issyk-Kul regional Soviet as a potential Kyrgyz Nursultan Nazarbaev. The political observer goes on to question Amanbaevs motives, he notes his thirst for power and blames him to know nothing of the needs of the people. He concludes by asking when the Lake-Nazarbaev is finally going to start leading the people out of the mess where the Kyrgyz KP has brought them into.

Ms. Zhanyl Tumonbaeva, Abdyrakhmanov writes, figured as Minister of Foreign Affairs and deputy head of the Council of Ministers in 1990. The author wonders how this  former employee of a worsted wool kombinat and Komsomol member appeared at the political scene and in the center of power. Abdyrakhmanov suspects her of a strong adherence to Marxist ideology and criticizes her lust for power.
