The Kyrgyz Association of Nongovernmental and Noncommercial Organizations has proposed the creation of a council of civil-society representatives to ensure the transparency of planned reforms of the country\'s law enforcement agencies, RFE/RL\'s Kyrgyz Service reported on 13 July, quoting association chairman Toktaiym Umetalieva. The association has also suggested that the Internal Affairs Ministry be renamed the Law Enforcement Ministry. Umetalieva said that her group, unlike many other NGOs, supports a project to prevent mass public disturbances that is part of a 3.6 million-euro program prepared by the OSCE to assist in reform of the Kyrgyz law enforcement system. The NGOs that object to the project assert that the training police receive in controlling mass public disturbances will be used to crush legitimate protests. President Askar Akaev has said that civil society representatives will be welcome to observe the implementation of the training program. (RFE/RL)
