The Erroneous Decision of the Legislator to Exclude the Prosecutor from Among the Active Subjects of the Stage of Initiating a Criminal Case and the Artificiality of the Structure of the Investigative Committee in the Kyrgyz Republic

Abstract

The issues of the system of checks and balances in relation to the criminal process in the Kyrgyz Republic are considered, the role and place of the prosecutor’s office in the system of state bodies in the implementation of criminal prosecution are analyzed. Criticism of the idea of separating the investigation from the state prosecution is presented, including the groundlessness and inferiority for the Kyrgyz Republic of creating the so-called Investigative Committee. It substantiates the need to retain a number of procedural powers for the prosecutor's office to initiate criminal cases, as well as to empower the prosecutor's office with the authority to oversee the implementation of laws by citizens, by analogy with the supreme supervision of the prosecutor's office in the USSR.
