Residents of the village of Zhana-Kiyma in the Zhaksy district of the Akmola region have appealed to the akim of the Akmola region, Marat Akhmetzhanov, asking for help in resolving a long-running dispute over shared land allotments. According to the shareholders, the dispute concerns roughly 3,000 hectares of land.
WHAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE STATED
According to nayza_kokshe, residents of the Zhany-Kiyma rural district have been appealing to district authorities and the prosecutor's office for several years over the issue of the land shares. They claim the district akimat has not held shareholder meetings, and the question of returning the land remains unresolved.
The residents say they have heard from the district akim about an intention to go to court over this land. When they raised the point that this is shared land, the shareholders claim they were told the court would not take that fact into account.
According to the residents, for 22 years, the head of the LLP «Nurkad», Nurlan Abdualiev, has not paid them for their shares. The shareholders also claim that their land is now being transferred to the state on the pretext that the plots are allegedly unused.
WHAT THE AKIMAT SAYS ABOUT DIVIDENDS
According to the district akimat, the conflict surrounding the LLP «Nurkad» has been ongoing since 2015. The authorities say that the procedure for withdrawing from the partnership's founding members has been explained to villagers on multiple occasions.
At the same time, according to official data, no applications for withdrawal from the LLP or demands for dividend payments have been received from the participants.
The akimat stresses that matters concerning the ownership of shares, their sale and the receipt of payments fall under civil-law relations. These are regulated by the Civil Code and the Law «On Limited and Additional Liability Partnerships».
WHY THE AKIMAT CANNOT RESOLVE THE CORPORATE DISPUTE
Local authorities note that they have no legal grounds to compel the LLP to buy out participants' shares, appoint new investors or independently determine payment amounts.
Such matters must be resolved in accordance with the partnership's charter and the internal procedures provided for by law. Thus, the shareholders' demands regarding payments and withdrawal from the partnership relate to matters between the participants and the management of the LLP.
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE LAND PLOT
In parallel, state bodies are examining the use of the agricultural land. The akimat's commentary refers to a plot of more than 3,600 hectares.
In September 2025, the relevant authorities found that this land was not being used for its intended purpose. Following this, the LLP «Nurkad» received an order to remedy the violations.
The implementation of this order is currently being monitored by the Department for Land Resource Management of the Akmola region. In September 2026, specialists are due to conduct a repeat inspection to establish whether the legal requirements have been met.
