1. (SBU) On February 7 President Bakiyev appointed several
cabinet ministers, including the First Vice Prime Minister
and Vice Prime Minster. When all appointments have been
made, the Prime Minister will then have the option to enact
parliament's recommendation to put each of the ministries,
committees, and state agencies under the supervision of the
prime minister or vice prime ministers. Additional
appointments are expected soon. The following reflects those
appointments that have been made thus far.
-- Daniyar Usenov was reappointed First Vice Prime Minister,
with probable oversight over the ministries of economic
development and trade; transport and communications;
industry, energy and fuel resources; committees for state
property; taxes and revenues; customs; and agencies for
geology and mineral resources; real estate registration; and
procurement and material reserves, pending approval by PM
Isabekov.
-- Nur uulu Dosbol, former Minister of Education, was
appointed Vice Prime Minister, with probable control over the
ministries of culture and information; education and science;
health; labor and social development; committees for
migration and employment; and agencies for tourism;
vocational training; and antimonopoly policy and competition
development.
-- Tynychbek Tabyldiyev was appointed Chief of Staff of the
Prime Minister's Office. Tabyldiyev formerly held the
position of Deputy Prime Minister under former PM Feliks
Kulov.
-- Ismail Isakov was reappointed Minister of Defense.
-- Bolotbek Nogoibayev, former Director of the Drug Control
Agency, replaces Omurbek Suvanaliyev as Minister of Internal
Affairs, despite calls from opposition leaders for
Suvanaliyev's reappointment.
-- Marat Kaiypov was reappointed Minister of Justice.
-- Nurlan Sulaimanov was reappointed Minister of Transport
and Communications.
-- Ukhtomkan Abdullayeva was appointed Minister of the
renamed Ministry of Labor and Social Development. Abdullayev
formerly held the position of Deputy Minister of Labor and
Social Welfare.
-- Murat Sutalinov was appointed Chairman of the re-named
Committee for National Security (GKNB). Sutalinov formerly
held the similar position of Chairman of the National
Security Service (SNB),under President Bakiyev's purview.
-- Tursun Turdumambetov was reappointed Chairman of the State
Committee for State Property.
-- Aigul Ryskulova was reappointed Chair of the State
Committee for Migration and Employment.
2. (C) COMMENT: Pending PM Isabekov's approval, it is
expected that the key ministries, committees, and agencies
involved with energy, trade, taxes, and customs may be
grouped under the purview of First Vice Prime Minister
Daniyar Usenov. A close confidant of President Bakiyev's,
Usenov has been known for his anti-HIPC rhetoric and firm
stance against the opposition. Opposition members have
already criticized Usenov's possible control over such
BISHKEK 00000140 002.2 OF 002
organs, calling the new structure "Usenov's government."
Suvanaliyev is rumored as a possible new head of the Drug
Control Agency. While Akylbek Japarov's and Igor Chudinov's
names were floated February 6 to respectively head the
ministries of finance, and industry, energy and fuel
resources (reftel),no appointments have been made for those
two positions. Additional appointments, however, are
expected to be made soon.
