The key political leader for kick-start reforms

One may hold various views regarding Omurbek Suvanaliev.
However, everyone understands that the country needs a strong, united opposition and a leader capable of guiding it.
It is entirely natural for him to seek support and understanding from key Kyrgyz politicians—calling for consolidation and citing figures such as Kamchybek Tashiev, Adakhan Madumarov, Iskhak Masaliev, and other opposition leaders.
His aim is certainly not to sow chaos or destabilize the current government; quite the opposite—such politic could to counter destructive trends very efficiently. 
The goal is to ensure the next presidential election takes place without  conflicts and excesses  and—regardless of the outcome—fosters the consolidation and development of our society. I have previously noted that the incumbent president is likely to win  on
 this election, but not with the 99 percents of votes as it usual picture for elections in dictator regimes. He gained little bit more than half of voices.  Yet, the runner-up with the 10 or 20% of voices  will continue to play a pivotal role as an opposition leader.

Without this, it is impossible to establish an independent judiciary, hold fair and honest elections for a new Jogorku Kenesh, or safeguard freedom of speech, the right to peaceful assembly, and other fundamental norms of a law-based society—norms we have all but lost.

In his interview, Omurbek Suvanaliev also made a crucial point: the best approach for Kyrgyzstan would be to limit the presidency to a single term. This would mean that, whether the incumbent or another candidate wins, the president would serve only one term.
A similar rule should be adopted for members of the Jogorku Kenesh—the new body of elected representatives to be formed following the presidential election—limiting politicians to serving a single term as deputies.

Such key political decisions would be the most effective measures, against combating corruption and significantly shrinking it's scale.
 
An independent judiciary can only emerge if the country has a democratically elected government and a strong opposition. Just like holding fair and transparent elections.

There is no need to invent anything new. We are just need used very well known and adopted political receipt and technologies.
