During the Government session, Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov addressed the issue of modernization and reconstruction of railway stations.

He noted that the work began earlier this year. In a short timeframe, contractors were identified and awarded turnkey contracts under terms acceptable to both them and regional administrations.

“The Government has done everything necessary to ensure timely implementation of this task. However, as we can see, some regional administrations are exercising weak control over construction progress. There are high risks of project delays in the Zhetysu, Abay, Ulytau, Akmola, and Aktobe regions. In the Mangystau Region, work on one station is behind schedule. In the city of Almaty, modernization of the Almaty-1 station is being delayed. I consider this a shortcoming on the part of local executive bodies. All construction work must be completed within the established deadlines and with full compliance to quality standards. Personal responsibility for fulfilling this task lies with the heads of local executive authorities,” Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov emphasized.
