Kyrgyzstan's President Sadyr Zhaparov has rejected a proposal to cut judges' salaries to pay for pensioners, AKIpress reports.
'Demagogy also has its limits,' Zhaparov said in response to the idea.
Why it matters: pensions are the most popular cause in Kyrgyz politics, and judges' pay is an easy target in that debate. Zhaparov is drawing a line: pension rises should be funded honestly, not by cutting another group's pay.
