During his working trip to the
Kostanai region, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev met the residents in
the city of Tobol. The Head of State stressed that rendering assistance to
those affected by the floods remains a priority task, noting that all state
resources will be directed toward its achievement. The government should fully
eliminate the consequences of the disaster by winter.
“The key priority is compensation. Funds
will also be allocated to those who have lost their housing or need repairs. Apartments
will be purchased for those who wish to move into flats. Special standard
houses will be constructed for those who choose to remain in place. There is a special
project for such kind of houses. They have been tested, and are deemed to be resilient.
These houses will be built on a mass scale throughout the summer and until
winter,” said President Tokayev.
The residents of the region expressed their
gratitude for the timely rescue efforts and prompt assistance in mitigating the
consequences of the natural disaster. The situation has clearly
demonstrated the unity of the people, with volunteers, civil servants, and
rescuers protecting villages and towns from the first days of the floods. Besides,
the Head of State paid special attention to the important role of
businesspeople in providing assistance to the affected. Thus, the country’s large
entrepreneurs will now be assigned to each region and provide support in
overcoming the consequences of the floods.
“Prominent entrepreneurs, who are on the Forbes
list, will be involved as well. They will be assigned to each region,
district, and village. It is also in their interests since they will see the
results of their contributions. I think your names, as philanthropists and volunteers
who help their people, will not go unnoticed by the state,” said the Head of
State.
President Tokayev also expressed gratitude to
the volunteers, students, and labor groups of the regions for their civic
activity and concern. It is in such difficult times that the unity of
the people is demonstrated, the Head of State highlighted.
