Spokesman for the President Ruslan Zheldibay said on his Facebook page that the issue was under the control of President Tokayev, the national portal Adyrna reported.
Today President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev drew attention to the article "Sigh on the road" published in the newspaper "Egemen Kazakhstan".
The publication raised the issue of poor condition of roads in the West Kazakhstan region. The President said in 2019 that the modernization of the transport and logistics potential of the region was one of the most important tasks, and the quality of 70% of roads was not critical. At a meeting in Uralsk, the President said that "this will not only complicate the daily lives of citizens, but also reduce the export and transit potential of the region."
At that time, the President instructed the Government, together with the mayor's office, to complete the repair of roads in Kaztalov, Zhanibek and Bokey ordasy districts by the end of 2021, emphasizing that this issue would be under his personal control.
However, according to the newspaper "Egemen Qazaqstan", the roads connecting these areas with the regional center have not yet been asphalted. The construction work is far behind schedule and there are financial problems.
Locals suffer from the lack of roads, especially in the spring and autumn.
The President instructed the Government and the regional ex to take all necessary measures as soon as possible. Those guilty of failure to perform appropriate work in a timely manner should be punished.
The President instructed the Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov to resolve this issue, "he wrote.
