Land dispute

Almaty, July 29, 2010 (Khabar) - A special commission is created to clarify the situation in Ashibulak rural district of Almaty region, where houses were demolished a few days ago. The local authorities issued an order for demolition of buildings, and homeowners argued that they had bought land plots. And now it turned out that the land was sold illegally.
These 14 hectares of land, around which the dispute erupted, were owned by Bekzat Orazayev in 1990-s to create a farm. But he did not become a farmer and also didn’t change the documents for the land purpose. Later, having divided large territory for some areas he began to sell, with fair warning of customers that there are no legal documents for land plots. But this didn’t stop people and they even began to build homes.
In spring, the state land inspector found all deals to be illegal. And people have been told to stop the construction. A person who sold the land was brought under an administrative action.

Gulnar Abramenko, state inspector of Interregional Inspection:
- According to the law of the land - the land provided for farming should directly be used purely for the purposes intended. We are, as a land inspection, go out and check the farms. He was fined according to two articles.

The rural administration says people knew that it was prohibited to build houses. Meetings were held even for several times and it was explained that the land is for agricultural purposes. But some people were not stopped.

Kanatbek Bugabayev, deputy mayor Ashibulak rural district:
- There about 300 people in queue for land in rural administration office. And those people who built houses, they have not filed any application. I doubt that very soon we will be able to give them land. However, if someone took the money from them, he must return it to people. Administration is not connected with this as we just wanted to stop the illegal construction.

A special commission was founded to put an end in this complicated land dispute. Law enforcement authorities began a criminal case over illegal land sales.
