The parliament of Kyrgyzstan amended the law on the status of national
lawmakers, yesterday, and permitted them to go armed. Deputy Asamidin
Maripov told journalists that firearms would be “issued on the request
to the parliament chairman.” Moreover, firearms will be issued for life
and not for the term of office. “We have to decide now what structure
will be put in charge of the issuance,” Maripov said.

Two lawmakers and one election winner were assassinated in Kyrgyzstan
over the last twelve months. Another parliamentarian was murdered when
inspecting a maximum security colony.

Deputy Interior Minister Temirkan Subanov tried to dissuade the
parliament but his protestations were ignored. As far as the Interior
Ministry is concerned, it will but worsen the general state of affairs
because the underworld will certainly make use of the opportunities
presented by so many firearms in private hands.

“No foreign legislation permits senators or deputies to go armed for
purposes of self-defense,” Subanov said. He said it would be better to
include additional sums in the national budget for defense of civil
servants and politicians.

According to the data compiled by the Interior Ministry, 22 lawmakers of
75 already possess firearms (some of them more than one). Prime Minister
Felix Kulov has already given the order to run a check of “all firearms
handed out as gifts and permits for them since June 1999″ and to
confiscate all finagled ones. As things stand, the Interior Ministry and
other ministries and departments are too free with giving firearms away
as gifts.
