Kyzylorda, July 30, 2010 (Khabar) - Some defects are revealed in the Kyzylorda region and they concern social situation of workers who construct the international transport corridor “Western Europe-Western China”. As it turned out, foreign companies do not comply with the obligations under the Kazakhstani law, and must remove defects within 15 days. Construction is carried out by four foreign contractors and 17 national sub contractors. The local workers addressed the regional office of “Nur Otan” party and complained for violations of the Labour Code of RK.

Saken Ismailov, worker:
- When we worked at night, we were promised that night shift will be paid as well as Sunday working. But they didn’t pay anything.

The workers also complained about living in poor conditions – there are no canteens and continuous water supply.

Yerbol Mienbayev, the driver:
- We have lunch wherever we can. I'm in the car, those who do not have it, eat in the shade under the bushes.

Inspection was held according to these facts and rough violations made by contractors were revealed.

Aikyn Bisembayev, deputy director of department of sanitary epidemiological station:
- There is no shower, conditioner in the hostel. The area for one man is less than 2 square meters and all the objects have no agreements of sanitary service.

Nurlybek Zholdasbayev, director of regional committee on control and social protection:
- The treaty is not signed during giving an employment and 30 % of ecological coefficient is not indicated, over-work is not paid, therefore we gave instructions to all the companies. If they don’t implement the demands we will take administrative measures and lead the case till the logical end after the term expiration.

Yavuz Uisal, director of contractor company says the situation will be normalized in the nearest future. And all the foreign and national companies that are involved into realization of the project, undergo the inspection so far.

- The party has been controlling this issue for three months, the companies acknowledged their violations and we instructed them to liquidate them within 15 days.

The specialists will conduct one more inspection soon to reveal how the violations were eliminated.
