The Kazakh government keeps under
constant control the restoration of housing following the floods. In this
regard, the country’s Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov held a meeting with
relevant ministers and local authorities. Notably, out of over 19,000 affected
properties, 8,000 houses are deemed beyond repair. Currently, construction is
underway for over 2,000 houses, alongside the purchase of 6,000 properties.
Rapid construction progress has been observed in the North Kazakhstan region,
where 200 new houses have already been completed, and in the Pavlodar region,
which has seen the construction of five new houses. Additionally, 22 houses are
set to be commissioned soon in the Kostanai region. Nevertheless, there are
some schedule delays of 15-25 days in the West Kazakhstan, Aktobe, Akmola, and
Atyrau regions. Bektenov instructed the regional governors to mobilize
resources and personnel to expedite the efforts.
«There are serious indications
that we are falling behind with the planned infrastructure timelines. Governors
are instructed to mobilize personnel and equipment for each site. If there are
insufficient resources in the regions, additional support will be provided.
Sectoral ministries are tasked with updating construction completion schedules,
including shortening timelines where necessary, and revisiting sites as needed.
Deputy ministers should oversee these efforts on-site, while the Minister of
Industry and Construction, in a principal role, will also be present in the
regions,» said Bektenov.
