To become a leader in Kyrgyzstan you need big money or have to contribute to the history, leader of Ata Meken faction Omurbek Tekebayev said during meeting with participants of the programme "Leadership School", 24.kg reported.
He said that the true leader has to manipulate with funds raised by friends or relatives. "If you win you will become a leader but if you lose they think you are swindler. I have managed to contribute to the history; that is why I hadn't spent much money. By the way I am still living in official housing. Earlier absence of the own housing considered as honesty. But now I feel shame for that," Omurbek Tekebayev added.
