Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart
Tokayev received the Akmola region governor Marat Akhmetzhanov, who reported on
the positive trends in the region’s main economic indicators. Akhmetzhanov
noted that, since the beginning of the year, the investment volume in fixed
assets have reached 530 billion tenge, including 435 billion from the private
sector. Additionally, measures are consistently being taken to support farmers
and increase the share of processed products. The production of vegetable and
butter oils, processed meat, milk, cheese, and cottage cheese has increased
since the start of the year. Special attention has been given to the course of
the heating season. Akhmetzhanov reported that the operations of all utilities
are under constant control, and a phased modernization of facilities in
Stepnogorsk and Kokshetau has been carried out.
“I briefed the Head of State on
the development of the master plans for the cities of Kosshy and Kokshetau.
Special attention was given to agglomeration work. Specific instructions were
given, including tasks related to implementing projects for the deep processing
of agricultural products, attracting investments, and ensuring uninterrupted
heating supply for the cities in the Akmola region,” Akhmetzhanov said.
The Head of State discussed the
heating and water supply situation with the governors of the Atyrau, Karagandy,
Pavlodar, and Mangystau regions. He instructed the prompt restoration of
heating and water supply systems in emergency areas and the establishment of
uninterrupted operation of utility networks in all settlements. Additionally,
the government was briefed on oversights in preparing for the heating season.
The government leadership assured that the situation is under control, except
for breakdowns due to the wear and tear of the country's energy infrastructure.
Measures are being taken to prevent emergencies. The Head of State has placed
personal responsibility on the government and the regional governors to address
the outlined tasks.
