Preparations for winter
Astana, September 29, 2009 (Khabar) - Issues of preparations for the forth-coming winter season topped the agenda at a government meeting in Astana. Educational institutions were the only ones to have been reported ready for the heating season while other social infrastructure sites are still behind schedule.
Serik Akhmetov, deputy prime minister of RK:
- Some regions have suspended such issues and I can say this quite openly. The regions are well aware of their debts. We know that there are debtors and I don’t understand why these state structures have such debts.
The territorial heads are responsible for the solution to this issue. The government allocated as much as 145 billion tenge for preparations for the heating season. However, some regions are still behind schedule.
Serik Nokin, chairman, Agency for Construction and Communal Management:
- 102 houses in the Akmola region are still not ready for the heating season as well as 51 blocks of flats in the Almaty region, 64 houses in the Zhambyl region, 54 units of housing in the West Kazakhstan region, 178 in Northern Kazakhstan and 161 in Southern Kazakhstan.
More attention should now be paid to the heating season preparation in Kokshetau and Shakhtinsk, Stepnogorsk and Kentau. Some incidents that took place last year should be a lesson for local authorities, said the premier. Another discussion was devoted to soaring fuel prices in the South Kazakhstan region. The Prime Minister asked why the fuel prices went up so quickly and how the regional administration was solving this matter?
Askar Myrzakhmetov, South Kazakhstan regional governor:
- We have reached an agreement with Torgay Petroleum on the supply of an extra 2 thousand tonnes of oil products to increase the production of petrol. However, the situation is partially caused by Petro Kazakhstan and the commodity supplies.
Mazhit Yesenbayev, chairman, Kazakhstan Agency for Competition Protection:
- There is an issue of low oil processing at the SHOS Company. They can refine as much as 450 thousand tonnes. There is a difference between the oil products made in Kazakhstan and Russia which are imported here. The presence of middlemen in this industry is also one of the reasons for the increase in price.
The Prime Minister also asked the ministries in charge and national companies to provide wagons for solid fuel to consumers and monitor the repairs at energy companies as well as to avoid fuel and coal price fixing.
