Recall, a scandal broke out in the SRS around the purchase of forms of biometric passports. The tender commission gave the first place to Garsu Pasaulis. The company is ready to deliver the forms for 940,150 soms.
In February, representatives of IDEMIA France SAS said they did not agree with the decision of the tender commission. The Interdepartmental Commission for Consideration of Complaints and protests sent a request to the State Procurement Department to contact the State Committee for National Security and give a legal assessment of the facts stated in the complaint.
The Corruption Control Service of the State Committee for National Security conducts investigative measures in the framework of a previously opened criminal case on violation of the tender conditions for the purchase of biometric passport forms.
Management of Infocom State Enterprise and the State Registration Service were arrested and placed in pretrial detention center of the State Committee for National Security of Kyrgyzstan.
Alina Shaikova had headed the SRS since February 2018. Prior to that, she headed the service in 2014-2015.
