Transport Minister Marat Karabaev highlighted that last year, in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Construction, the procedures for land expropriation were reduced to six months. This year, this regulation will be extended. New projects have defined the areas of expropriated lands.
"All preparatory work must be done in advance to avoid delays in project construction and increased costs in the future. I instruct the akimats to ensure the reservation of plots for future projects, declare a moratorium on the issuance of these lands, and change their designated purpose. The Ministry of Industry, together with the akimats, must prepare the documentation for quarries involved in road projects. The Ministry of Transport needs to work on the legislative regulation of expedited land acquisition for state needs related to road construction," said Olzhas Bektenov.
Previously, Marat Karabaev discussed how billions of tenge obtained from toll road usage will be utilized.
