On November 29, 1924, Mikhail Beznosikov was appointed the first prosecutor of the Kara-Kirghiz Autonomous Oblast, the precursor to the current prosecutor general's office. In 1936, the prosecutor's office, along with other law enforcement bodies formed the prosecutor's office of the Kirghiz SSR. As a result of the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the Kyrgyz Republic on 15 December 1990, the regional prosecution authorities in Kyrgyzstan distinguished themselves and gave themselves precedence over the Procurator General of the Soviet Union. In December 1993, the Jogorku Kenesh passed a law which saw the formalization of national legal prosecution bodies in independent Kyrgyzstan. Its functions were defined in law in July 2000. In light of the Tulip Revolution and the Kyrgyz Revolution of 2010, the office's main tasks were focused mostly on fighting government corruption.[2]
