Kazakh Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov instructed to strengthen measures to ensure road safety at the Government’s meeting. There has been an increase in the accident rate in the country since the beginning of the year. The country’s Interior Minister Marat Akhmetzhanov said that one of the reasons for this is the lack of proper control over the technical condition of vehicles. In this regard, it is necessary to strengthen the responsibility of operators of technical inspection stations for fictitious vehicle inspections. Over the past four years, more than 100,000 drivers were held accountable for driving vehicles that do not meet the requirements of technical regulations.
“The requirements for opening technical inspection centers have been reduced. In 2016, the procedure for opening them changed from licensing to notification. In 2018, state supervision for this service was abolished. This in turn led to the proliferation of fictitious certificates on passing technical inspection. Thus, the anti-corruption service liquidated the organized crime group, which sold 350,000 such documents for a total amount of 600 million tenge,” Akhmetzhanov said.
