The Anti-Corruption Agency has reported on the implementation of a project to support long-term construction sites, which aims to address issues with delayed construction of socially significant facilities.
According to the agency's press service, since October 2023, 87 unfinished facilities have been completed in the country.
Among those brought into operation:
- 20 schools, providing access to education for thousands of children;
- 12 residential buildings, including housing for large families and orphaned children;
- 9 sports facilities;
- 8 cultural and leisure institutions;
- 4 medical facilities;
- 4 bridges;
- 3 kindergartens;
- water supply systems, providing drinking water to 26 populated localities.
The highest number of completed facilities is in the Pavlodar region (14), followed by the Aktobe (10) and Kyzylorda regions (8). Six facilities each were brought into operation in Astana, Turkestan, Akmola, and West Kazakhstan regions.
For instance, in the town of Sergeevka in the North Kazakhstan region, after three years of waiting, construction of a 27-apartment building has been completed, originally planned for handover as far back as 2022. The apartments were handed over to socially vulnerable categories of citizens.
In Kostanay, construction of a 45-apartment building was completed after a long delay. In the village of Sarytogai in the Atyrau region, after eight years, construction of a 200-seat community centre was completed.
In the Pavlodar region, water supply systems were brought into operation in the villages of Kurkeli, Bayanauyl and Shuga, providing clean water to over 400 households.
It is noted that 152 long-term construction projects remain under the agency's supervision. During this year, it is planned to complete another 15 facilities in various regions of the country.
As has become known, since the beginning of the year alone, the Anti-Corruption Agency has held 30 meetings of interdepartmental commissions, and volunteers and employees of state bodies organised 87 site visits for monitoring and problem resolution.
