“The Minister of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Chingis Arinov, during the inspection of the mudflow-retaining dam in the Aksai basin, identified certain violations related to the failure of the contractor to fulfill obligations for the construction of the facility (there is a threat to the lives of about 30 thousand residents of Almaty),” reads the statement.
In this regard, Arinov raised a question with the management of Kazselezaschita regarding the transfer of relevant materials to the financial monitoring agency for making a procedural decision.
“Based on the results of the review, a criminal case has been opened and an investigation into the theft of budget funds is underway against the responsible persons of the contractor,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations said.
