There are 20 people in the senior home today, according to him.
The mayor's office annually provides 27 million som for this institute, Ulanov noted.
"The Ministry of Labor is a founder, and we pay money to them. Why? Then change the status, make it not municipal but national. You are writing that it is a Bishkek home for elderly people," he said.
