On August 27, 2025, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan, together with the Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA), released the results of an inspection of JSC Agrarian Credit Corporation (ACC). The inspection was prompted by violations related to the implementation of projects in the agricultural sector. According to a press release from the Prosecutor General's Office, oversight agencies focused their attention on the activities of JSC "Agricultural Support Fund," which became part of the ACC in 2021. The audit revealed that serious violations of the law were committed during the construction of two apple orchards in Shymkent. As it turned out, the fund's management signed acceptance certificates in 2021 for a project that, in fact, did not meet either the technical specifications or the stated production parameters. Despite the fact that some of the work was only formally completed, the client accepted it as complete. The amount of uncompleted work amounted to 430.6 million tenge. The total damage to the state, taking into account all associated costs, reached 685.8 million tenge. These funds were intended to support agriculture and develop the agricultural sector, but in fact, a significant portion was misused. On July 10, 2024, a criminal case was opened under the article "Abuse of Official Powers" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Shymkent Department of Economic Investigations led the investigation. The investigation established that the former deputy chairman of the AKK board, I.M., acted in the interests of the contractor, S.R. He signed documents accepting work that was never actually completed. This decision caused serious damage to the state and jeopardized the effectiveness of the agricultural sector support program. In addition to the main criminal case, law enforcement agencies opened additional pre-trial investigations. These concerned a broader range of violations, classified under paragraph 2, part 4, Article 190 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("Fraud") and paragraph 2, part 4, Article 189 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan ("Misappropriation or embezzlement of another's property"). The cases were consolidated into a single proceeding. As a result of a comprehensive investigation, investigators were able to gather evidence confirming the involvement of both the former deputy chairman of the ACC and the contractor in the crime. On August 7, 2025, the Shymkent Specialized Interdistrict Criminal Court delivered its verdict. Both defendants in the case—former AKK top manager I.M. and contractor S.R.—were found guilty of abuse of office, fraud, and embezzlement. The court sentenced each person to eight years in prison, followed by confiscation of property in favor of the state. Thus, the judicial system sent a signal that abuses in the implementation of state programs and projects in the agricultural sector are unacceptable. The verdict has not yet entered into legal force. The parties can appeal it. Experts note that the identified violations not only affect the state budget but also undermine farmers' and investors' trust in agricultural support institutions. Funds allocated for agricultural development should be used directly to increase productivity, modernize infrastructure, and support farms. Such cases of corruption and abuse result in resources being diverted from economic development to the pockets of unscrupulous contractors. Ultimately, the entire agricultural sector suffers, missing out on the promised investments. The Prosecutor General's Office emphasized that combating corruption and abuse remains a priority. Particular attention is being paid to areas that rely on state subsidies and preferential financing. "We will continue to respond harshly to instances of embezzlement and abuse in the implementation of government programs. Accountability for the use of budget funds must be maximized. This is the only way to ensure the effectiveness of government support and public trust, " the agency's official statement reads. Analysts believe this case will serve as a showcase and lead to increased oversight of quasi-governmental entities. The need to implement new audit and monitoring mechanisms to promptly identify violations is already being discussed. Specifically, this concerns the digitalization of control processes and the expansion of the powers of independent audit commissions. Furthermore, the Financial Monitoring Agency, together with the Prosecutor General's Office, is expected to continue audits in other regions of the country. An inspection by the Prosecutor General's Office and the Association of Financial Monitoring (AFM) revealed serious violations in the operations of JSC Agrarian Credit Corporation. The incident with the apple orchards in Shymkent demonstrated the importance of transparency and accountability in the implementation of public projects. Holding high-ranking officials and contractors accountable is an important step in the fight against corruption. However, experts emphasize that it is necessary not only to punish the guilty but also to create a system that will prevent similar incidents in the future. The court's verdict in the case of I.M. and S.R. is a signal to all participants in state programs: any abuse of official authority will inevitably lead to criminal liability. In this way, the state demonstrates its determination to protect the interests of society and ensure that budgetary funds work exclusively for the benefit of citizens and the development of key sectors of the economy.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Financial Monitoring Agency (FMA) jointly conducted a comprehensive audit of the activities of the Agricultural Credit Corporation (ACC) Joint Stock Company (JSC) in order to monitor the quality of implementation of state programs aimed at supporting agriculture. This was reported in an official press release of the Prosecutor General's Office dated August 27, 2025. As a result of the inspection, violations were identified in the implementation of a number of projects aimed at developing the agricultural sector. In particular, it was revealed that in 2021, the former Agricultural Support Fund Joint-Stock Company, which became part of the Agricultural Credit Corporation, grossly violated legal requirements when implementing a project to build an apple orchard in two fields in the city of Shymkent. According to the inspection materials, during the implementation of the project, the terms of the contract with the contractor were not fulfilled. Although the apples were planted and the farm infrastructure was supposed to be ready, the work was not fully completed. Nevertheless, acceptance certificates were signed and documents on the implementation of the project were drawn up. As actual calculations show, the total amount of unfulfilled work amounted to 430.6 million tenge. In addition, the total financial losses of the state amounted to 685.8 million tenge. This amount is a clear indication of the ineffective use of budget funds. A criminal case was initiated on July 10, 2024, in connection with the identified violations. The case was considered under the article "Abuse of Official Powers" of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. During the investigation conducted by the Economic Investigation Department of Shymkent, the actions of the former Deputy Chairman of the Board of Agrarian Credit Corporation JSC I.M. were revealed. He, acting in the interests of the head of the contracting company S.R., signed an act of acceptance of work that was not actually performed. Thus, state funds were illegally embezzled, causing significant damage to the budget. In addition, additional facts of violations were revealed during the investigation. On August 7, 2025, additional criminal cases were initiated under Article 190, Part 4, Paragraph 2 (“Fraud”) and Article 189, Part 4, Paragraph 2 (“Misappropriation or plunder of another person’s property”) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. These cases were combined into one proceeding. The Shymkent city court considered the criminal case and issued a verdict on August 7, 2025. By the court decision, the former official I.M. and the contractor S.R. were found guilty. Each of them was sentenced to 8 years in prison. At the same time, their property was confiscated. However, as the Prosecutor General's Office noted, the court verdict has not yet entered into legal force. The defendants have the option of appealing. The Prosecutor General's Office of the Republic of Kazakhstan noted that this case is a manifestation of the fight against corruption and inefficient spending of budget funds in the country. According to the supervisory body, the amount of funds allocated to the agricultural sector is increasing every year. Therefore, ensuring the targeted spending of funds allocated to each project is one of the main tasks. The Financial Monitoring Agency, in turn, announced that it will strengthen financial control mechanisms and conduct regular monitoring of the implementation of state projects. It was stated that any financial violations in the field of agricultural support will be strictly investigated. This case has caused a great resonance in society. According to experts, agriculture is an important sector that directly affects the country's food security. Therefore, any facts of corruption in this area have a negative impact not only on the economic development of the state, but also on the lives of ordinary people. Economists noted the need to strengthen control and accountability in the implementation of government programs. They also recommended increasing the responsibility of local executive bodies to prevent similar situations from recurring. The official statement of the Prosecutor General's Office, published on August 27, 2025, once again showed how important the issue of efficient use of public funds is. The case surrounding the "Agrarian Credit Corporation" revealed the existence of systemic problems in the agricultural sector. Every tenge allocated by the state should be spent on the development of agriculture. This is not only an economic, but also a socially important task. Because agriculture not only ensures the country's food security, but also employs thousands of citizens. Therefore, in the future, law enforcement agencies, government agencies, and society must jointly take concrete measures to prevent such violations.

On August 30, 2025, another cleanup day was held in Shymkent as part of the national environmental campaign "Taza Kazakhstan." This time, the event took place on Bykovskaya Street, located in the Al-Farabi District. The event was organized by the district administration and employees of the Al-Farabi municipal government agency. They were joined by local residents, who traditionally support city improvement initiatives. Over 130 people participated in the event, and 12 pieces of specialized equipment were deployed. Thanks to this combined effort, approximately 10 tons of household waste and plant waste were removed from the street. The main goal of the cleanup was not only to clean up the area but also to foster a culture of environmental responsibility among city residents. Environmental issues have become increasingly important in recent years: rising waste volumes, improper plastic disposal, and pollution of public spaces are becoming a real problem for any city. The "Taza Kazakhstan" campaign is held systematically throughout the country and aims to address these issues. It unites residents of all ages and backgrounds, reminding them that keeping courtyards, streets, and parks clean is not the sole responsibility of public utilities, but the duty of every citizen. During the event, the deputy akim of the district addressed the participants and thanked everyone present for their activism and hard work: "Keeping the city clean is our shared goal. If every resident maintains order on their street, the overall appearance of Shymkent will improve. We hold cleanup days not only to clean up trash, but also to instill in people a caring attitude toward nature and the environment. I ask all residents to dispose of waste only in designated areas and set a positive example for the younger generation, " he said. Local residents enthusiastically embraced the initiative. Many noted that such events help bring people together and remind them of the importance of working together. A resident of the area, pensioner Aliya Apa, shared her opinion: "We used to have cleanup days often, and the whole street would come out to clean up the area. Today, it's nice to feel that spirit of unity again. Our street is much cleaner, and our spirits are uplifted. I'm especially pleased that young people participated too. They need to be shown from a young age that nature needs to be protected, " she said. Student Nurdaulet, who came with his friends, noted: "We often read about ecology on social media, but it's one thing to see information and quite another to actually participate. Today we did something useful and realized that each of us can make a contribution. From now on, I'll be more careful about where I throw my trash, " he admitted. The cleanup day focused on more than just garbage collection. Utility workers also tidied up green spaces: trimming dead tree branches, clearing weeds, and trimming shrubs. All of this improved the street's aesthetic appeal and created a more welcoming atmosphere for residents. According to experts, the amount of household waste in the city is increasing annually. Plastic bottles, bags, and disposable tableware, which take decades to decompose, lead the way. Therefore, environmental organizations and city services strongly recommend that residents switch to reusable bags and tableware and recycle recyclables. At the end of the event, the organizers addressed all residents of the area: "Dear residents! Don't be indifferent to the environment. Try to dispose of trash in designated areas. It's each of our responsibility to keep our courtyards and streets clean so that our children grow up in a healthy and comfortable environment. Only together can we make our city clean and beautiful, " they emphasized. The cleanup day on Bykovskaya Street was another step in the implementation of the large-scale "Taza Kazakhstan" program. Events like these clearly demonstrate that ecology is not an abstract concept, but a part of our daily lives. A clean city ensures the health of its residents, an attractive appearance, and a comfortable environment for future generations. Although such events may seem routine, their impact is enormous. They foster civic responsibility, unite people around a common goal, and foster a caring attitude toward nature. Every bag of trash removed from the streets contributes to the health of the city and its residents. The "Taza Kazakhstan" environmental campaign has once again proven that when people unite for a common cause, the results are immediately visible. Bykovskaya Street has been noticeably transformed: it has become cleaner, tidier, and more comfortable. But most importantly, the understanding has become stronger in people's minds that order begins with each of us. If we want to live in a green, clean, and modern city, we need to start small: clean up after ourselves, sort waste, and participate in similar initiatives. Only then will Shymkent and our entire country become a model of environmentalism and responsible stewardship.

On August 30, 2025, another clean-up was organized in Shymkent as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" environmental campaign of republican significance. This time, the cleaning work took place on BYKOVSKY Street, Al-Farabi District. The action was actively participated by employees of the district akimat, employees of the Al-Farabi municipal state institution, as well as local residents. In total, more than 130 people were mobilized to collect garbage piled up along the streets. In addition, 12 special vehicles - trucks, tractors and cleaning machines - were deployed, as a result of which about 10 tons of household waste were removed from the city. The main goal of the holiday is to beautify our city, improve sanitary conditions, and form an ecological culture among residents. In recent years, environmental issues have been a concern not only for scientists and nature lovers, but also for ordinary residents. Irregular garbage disposal, the increase in household waste, and the non-degradability of plastic products - all of which cause great harm to the environment. In this context, the Saturday cleaning campaigns organized as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign are of particular importance. This is not just street cleaning, but systematic work aimed at instilling in people a sense of respect for nature. The deputy akim of the district thanked the public for participating in the Saturday rally and called on residents to be active: – Cleanliness is the civic duty of each of us. If everyone takes responsibility for keeping their yard and street clean, the image of the entire city will change. We are holding a Saturday not only to collect garbage, but also to promote environmental culture. Therefore, we ask residents to set an example for children by throwing garbage in designated places, - he said. According to residents who participated in the action, such events bring people together and increase a sense of collective responsibility. A pensioner living on the street, Aliya, expressed her opinion: – In the past, Sabbaths were held frequently. We are glad that they are still being held. Our streets are now clean, and the mood is uplifting. It is especially pleasing that young people are participating. Because they are the owners of the future, and they should learn compassion for nature from the very beginning, - he said. And the young student Nurdaulet: – We often see the topic of ecology on social media, but actually participating is a completely different feeling. Today, my friends and I participated and did something useful. From now on, I will try not to throw away garbage carelessly, – he shared. During the weekend, not only was garbage collected, but the greenery on the streets was also put in order. Trees and bushes were trimmed and weeds were removed. These works will not only improve the aesthetic appearance of the city, but also help create a comfortable environment for residents. According to experts, in recent years, the amount of garbage in the city has been increasing every year. Among them, plastic bottles, disposable cups, and plastic bags are the most common types of waste. Therefore, experts urge residents to use environmentally friendly, recyclable materials whenever possible. At the end of Saturday, the organizers made a special appeal to the city's residents: – Dear residents of the district! We urge you to not be indifferent to the environment and throw away your garbage in designated places. Each of us has the responsibility to keep our village and street clean and create a clean and comfortable environment for our children. The results of our joint efforts will always be fruitful, – the appeal states. The "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign is not just a one-day holiday, but a big step towards increasing the ecological culture of the population. Through such events, residents will become more aware of the importance of protecting nature. If everyone keeps their yard clean, the whole city will be greener, cleaner and more beautiful. Therefore, although this Sabbath may seem like a small event, its contribution to society is enormous. It is a noble initiative that unites people, mobilizes them for a common cause, and most importantly, fosters a sense of compassion for nature.

On August 2-3 , 2025, a major environmental cleanup event was held in Shymkent as part of the national "Taza Kazakstan" ("Clean Kazakhstan") program. The event was organized by the Opera and Ballet Theater , and all employees and heads of institutions under the jurisdiction of the Shymkent Department of Culture, Language Development, and Archives participated in the event. The "Taza Kazakhstan" program has been implemented nationwide for several years now. Its key goal is not only to improve the sanitary conditions of populated areas but also to cultivate a culture of caring for nature and respect for green spaces and the urban environment among citizens. In Shymkent, this cleanup day was another step toward achieving these goals. Participants cleaned streets, public spaces, courtyards, and the areas surrounding cultural sites. Dirt ditches and sidewalks were cleared of trash, and green spaces were weeded and watered. Thus, through joint efforts, the city's neighborhoods were noticeably transformed and given a well-maintained appearance. What made this cleanup event unique was that it involved exclusively cultural workers. These included employees of theaters, libraries, museums, community centers, and archives. Each group was assigned a designated area where they worked together to carry out sanitary cleaning. The Opera and Ballet Theatre, which initiated the initiative, set an example of unity and social responsibility. Artists, technical staff, and administration joined forces to clean up the grounds. This activity demonstrated that culture and art can be important not only on stage or in a museum hall, but also in addressing social issues. The event was also attended by facility managers, who personally attended the cleanup. Their presence underscored the importance of the initiative and provided additional motivation for employees. Such events serve not only a utilitarian function but also have an educational impact. When people see theater artists or museum staff volunteering to clean the streets, it becomes a powerful example for society. Environmental awareness is formed primarily through personal involvement and responsibility. The organizers noted that cleaning the area is not a one-time event, but a symbol of unity. A clean city is only possible when every resident understands their role in maintaining order. Shymkent residents who witnessed the cleanup day supported the participants. Many expressed gratitude and noted that such initiatives boost their sense of pride in their city. The city's Department of Culture, Language Development, and Archives emphasized that cleanup days will become a regular practice. The issue of cleanliness and the environment cannot be resolved overnight, and consistency is essential for lasting results. Plans include organizing systematic events that will span various districts of the city. A key focus will be engaging not only cultural professionals but also city residents, volunteers, and student organizations. Furthermore, in the future, more attention will be paid not only to cleaning but also to landscaping, planting trees and flowers, and improving courtyards and parks. This will allow for not only waste removal but also the creation of new green spaces, improving residents' comfort. Shymkent is Kazakhstan's third largest city, home to over a million people. In a large city, sanitation and environmental issues take on particular importance. Maintaining cleanliness and order is directly related to quality of life. The cleanup day held on August 24th became a symbol of united efforts. Cultural workers reminded everyone that caring for the city is not the responsibility of just public utilities, but a responsibility of society as a whole. The organizers expressed hope that the event would generate positive momentum and attract more citizens to participate in similar initiatives. After all, cleanliness is the result of a shared effort, and "Taza Kazakhstan" should become a way of life. A large-scale cleanup event held in Shymkent as part of the "Taza Kazakhstan" program demonstrated the high level of commitment of cultural and artistic workers. Their efforts helped clean up significant areas and set an example for city residents. Such events foster environmental awareness among the population, developing a sense of unity and responsibility toward future generations. Shymkent has demonstrated that culture can play a leading role not only in spiritual but also in social life, becoming a driving force for positive change.

On August 2-3, 2025 , a special large-scale Sabbath was organized in Shymkent. This event was held within the framework of the "Clean Kazakhstan" republican program and gave a great impetus to the cleanliness and improvement work in the city. The main feature of the Sabbath was the active participation of employees and heads of all institutions under the Shymkent City Department of Culture, Language Development and Archives , organized by the Opera and Ballet Theater . The "Clean Kazakhstan" project is one of the most important environmental initiatives being implemented in all regions of the country. Its main goal is to protect the environment, make cities cleaner and more comfortable, and form an ecological culture among residents. The Shymkent city sabbatical was aimed at implementing these goals. During the event, cultural workers worked together to clean streets, parks, historical sites, and public spaces from garbage. In addition, the roots of trees and greenery were loosened and watered. Roadsides, ditches, and ditches were also cleaned, improving the appearance of the city. This time, employees of theaters, museums, libraries, cultural centers, and archival institutions participated in the Saturday. Each institution, together with its team, was responsible for a certain territory and participated in cleaning up the areas assigned to them. Such a large-scale event showed how responsibly the cultural sector approaches environmental initiatives. Creative groups also showed special activity at the Saturday event, organized at the initiative of the Opera and Ballet Theater. The contribution of artists to protecting nature and beautifying the city is an example for the people. This proves that culture and art play an important role not only on the stage, but also in various spheres of society. During the weekend, employees of cultural institutions not only demonstrated mutual solidarity, but also set a clear example for the city's residents. Ecological culture should become a daily lifestyle for every citizen. Not throwing garbage anywhere, protecting trees, and maintaining flower beds are seemingly simple actions that can lead to great results. Such Sabbaths not only increase the city's residents' responsibility for the environment, but also strengthen their love for their city. The Department of Culture, Language Development and Archives of Shymkent expressed its interest in systematically holding such environmental events. Because the cleanliness of the city is not limited to a one-day cleanup. Work in this direction should be permanent and continuous. In the future, cultural workers will continue to contribute to improving the environmental situation in the city. It is also planned to invite residents to actively participate in these initiatives. The Saturday event held on August 24 was a vivid example of promoting ecological culture in Shymkent. During this event, held as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" program, representatives of the cultural sector worked together and made a significant contribution to the cleanliness of the city. Shymkent is the third largest metropolis in the country. More than a million people live here. That is why such Saturdays are of special importance. The cleanliness of the city is the common responsibility of every resident. The initiative of cultural workers encourages the public to unite, respect nature, and love their native land.

On August 30, 2025 , Shymkent — Another cleanup day was held in Shymkent's Yebekshi District, which was actively attended by not only local authorities but also residents themselves. This year, the cleanup day was held on Koykeldі Batyr Street, one of the district's key streets. The event included extensive sanitation and landscaping work, which undoubtedly contributed to the overall improvement of the district. Senbilik, or cleanup day, is a tradition deeply rooted in community life, as such events not only help maintain cleanliness but also bring residents together. The following activities were completed during the cleanup day: Roadside Cleaning : The main goal of this event is to tidy up city streets and areas. On Koykeldi Batyr Street, the roadsides were cleared of trash, dry leaves, and other household waste. This significantly improves the aesthetic appearance of the area and prevents the accumulation of waste in public spaces. Grass cutting : An important part of the project was mowing grass that could impede traffic and create inconvenience for residents, especially on pedestrian paths and near roadways. Grass was cut on lawns and in common areas, improving the visual appeal of the streets. Tree and shrub maintenance : Plant maintenance included pruning shrubs and trees to promote healthy growth and aesthetic appeal. These activities not only ensured order but also contributed to a cleaner environment in the area. Garbage Removal : Clearing the area of household trash and waste was a key part of the cleanup day. Garbage was collected from streets and green spaces, significantly improving the sanitary conditions of the area. As always, the main participants in the cleanup day were the residents themselves, who demonstrated their proactiveness and took a responsible approach. Many residents took to the streets to help make their neighborhood cleaner and more pleasant to live in. Local activists and volunteers organized small groups that cleaned various areas. This not only helped organize the process but also fostered community cohesion. It's worth noting that participation in such events helps people feel responsible for the well-being of their neighborhood. At the same time, it gives district residents the opportunity to express their commitment to improving their quality of life and enhancing the appearance of their hometown. The cleanup day in Yenbekshi district also emphasized the importance of ecology and a responsible attitude toward the environment. In the context of rapid urban growth, where every square meter is becoming valuable, it's crucial not only to monitor the condition of infrastructure but also to consider the natural balance. The ecological approach, which is being actively implemented in city life, is focused on respecting nature. Events like these foster a sense of responsibility among residents for environmental protection and maintaining cleanliness in public spaces. This also contributes to improved sanitation, which directly impacts public health. Organizing cleanup days, like other environmental initiatives, plays a vital role in creating a healthy urban environment. Clean and orderly streets directly impact residents' quality of life. This is especially true in large cities, where large numbers of people move through the streets daily, and the condition of public spaces is crucial for comfort and safety. Moreover, such events provide an excellent opportunity for local authorities to establish close collaboration with citizens and explain the importance of joint efforts to improve urban infrastructure and living conditions. This helps residents not only understand but also actively participate in the process of improving the environment. Organizing cleanup days requires good coordination and participation from all stakeholders. Local authorities actively support such initiatives, providing the necessary resources and coordinating the work. Importantly, they take the initiative to improve the city's infrastructure and support all projects aimed at improving local areas. Furthermore, cleanup days provide residents with the opportunity to directly address the authorities with suggestions and comments regarding the state of their neighborhoods. This facilitates feedback and helps local governments respond promptly to the needs of the population. Senbilik is only the first step in a long-term improvement project. Future plans include continuing efforts to improve the sanitary conditions of the area, including regular cleaning, the creation of new green spaces, and infrastructure improvements. Plans also include expanding the network of pedestrian and bicycle paths to create a safer and more comfortable environment for residents. Local authorities will continue to actively work to improve the quality of life in the area, and resident participation in such events will remain an important element of the city's successful development. The cleanup day held in the Yebekshi district was an important step in ensuring cleanliness and order, as well as strengthening cooperation between local authorities and residents. These events not only help improve the city's appearance but also create conditions for comfortable and safe living. Such initiatives contribute to the development of a responsible and environmentally conscious society that cares about its future.

Clean-up work was carried out on Koykeldy Batyr Street. The purpose of this event is to maintain the sanitary cleanliness of the district, improve the ecological situation and improve the quality of life of residents. Thanks to the active participation and joint efforts of city residents, this event was held at a high level.

Waste removal is an important stage of cleanliness, which ensures the processing of environmentally harmful waste, preventing waste from disrupting the ecological balance, and ensuring its effective disposal. The participation of city residents in the cleanup was very high. Not only local akimat employees, but also residents of the district actively participated in this work. By taking part in the cleanup, residents feel their responsibility for the cleanliness of the city and work together to achieve a common goal. The participation of every resident is of great importance, because a clean and beautiful city is the common cause of not only the authorities, but also every citizen. Shymkent residents are feeling their social responsibility these days and are contributing to the cleanliness of the city. All participants of the Sabbath understood the ecological importance of this day and were ready to make their contribution. The Senbilik event is aimed not only at cleaning the territory, but also at forming an ecological culture. Regular work is being carried out among the district akimat and local residents to increase environmental responsibility and respect for the environment through such events. Keeping the city clean is not just a one-day event, it should be a daily task for all residents and municipal services. Thus, regular cleaning and environmental activities in the city increase residents' responsibility for nature and contribute to the formation of a culture of cleanliness. Each clean-up day is unique in its results and future plans. This clean-up day had a positive impact on the cleanliness of not only Koykeldy Batyr Street, but also the entire district. In the future, the district akimat plans to hold clean-up days regularly and organize similar cleaning events in all districts of the city. The results of the work carried out within the framework of the Senbilik will be visible for a long time. The next steps are planned to include additional environmental activities carried out together with residents, the construction of wide pedestrian paths, and the modernization of street lighting. This, in turn, will improve the city's infrastructure and contribute to improving the quality of life of residents. The results of the Sabbath work in the Enbekshy district were positive. Cleanliness, environmental culture and social responsibility are important issues that require joint work of the city's residents and authorities. Cleanliness measures demonstrate responsibility for the future of the city and its residents. Thus, Sabbath work not only ensures current cleanliness, but also serves as the beginning of work for the city in the future. We urge all residents to maintain cleanliness and let's not forget that each of us has an important contribution to make to the city!

On August 30, an unusual event took place in Shymkent to mark one of the most significant national holidays—Constitution Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan. On the eve of the memorable date, city road service employees, together with the staff of the Shymkent branch of the National Quality Center, organized a large-scale cleanup day, emphasizing not only the cleanup but also the symbolism inherent in this action. The choice of location for the event was no coincidence—the work was taking place on Ata Zang Street, named after the country's Basic Law. It was here that road workers and the center's staff joined forces to clean up the area: they cleared the street of trash, grass clippings, and weeds, and began landscaping the green spaces. Constitution Day is traditionally perceived by Kazakhstanis as a celebration of unity and shared responsibility for the country. It's not just the date of the adoption of an important document, but also a symbol of the rule of law, where the law stands at the forefront of public and political life. Therefore, the cleanup campaign was intended to emphasize respect for the Basic Law and demonstrate that caring for the city and the common good begins with concrete actions. For road workers and employees of the National Quality Center, this initiative became a way to express their civic commitment. They noted that a clean city is not only a comfortable living environment but also an indicator of a society's culture and its commitment to order and justice. By keeping the street named after the Constitution clean, the cleanup participants seemed to emphasize that respect for the law begins with respect for one's land, home, and city. The campaign gained widespread support among city residents. Residents actively participated in the events, and some even joined their entire families in helping with the cleanup. They said such initiatives bring people together, strengthen their sense of community, and remind them of the importance of each individual's contribution to the common good. Particular emphasis was placed on the educational value of the cleanup day. For the youth, it became a living lesson in civic responsibility, a clear example of how one can and should respect state symbols and holidays. After all, the Constitution is not only a legal document but also a reflection of the shared values, rights, and responsibilities of citizens. The organizers noted that the event's goal goes far beyond simple cleanups. It aims to foster among city residents a caring attitude toward the urban environment, environmental awareness, and an understanding of personal responsibility for maintaining cleanliness. After all, cleanliness in public spaces is not only a matter of sanitation but also an indicator of a society's level of development. Equally important was the fact that the event brought together representatives of various organizations—utility workers, government agencies, and ordinary citizens. Such cooperation clearly demonstrates the idea of unity symbolized by the holiday itself. This unity underlies the strength of the state, its resilience, and its ability to solve even the most complex problems. It's worth noting that such events are becoming a fine tradition in Shymkent. In previous years, greening, courtyard improvement, and public space cleaning events were held in the lead-up to national holidays. However, this cleanup day, timed specifically for Constitution Day, has a special significance: it embraces the idea of respect for the law, responsibility for the common good, and a commitment to development. Road workers admitted that for them, participating in such initiatives is more than just fulfilling their official duties, but an opportunity to bring a touch of warmth and care to the city. After all, roads and streets are the city's "arteries," through which life moves daily. Keeping them clean means creating a cozy and comfortable environment for all residents. It's also symbolic that Constitution Day emphasizes not only legal values but also the environment and the desire to make the city cleaner and more beautiful. This demonstrates that the modern understanding of the holiday goes beyond formal celebrations and takes on a practical dimension. The event concluded in a warm atmosphere: participants shared their impressions, took photos against the backdrop of the renovated street, and thanked each other for their contributions. Many noted that such events should be held more often, as they foster a true culture of responsibility and mutual support. Thus, Shymkent road workers and employees of the National Quality Center demonstrated that celebrating Constitution Day can be not only festive but also beneficial to society. Their work contributed to the cleanliness and well-being of the city, and also served as a shining example of how respect for the law and state symbols can be expressed through good deeds. Constitution Day reminds every Kazakhstani of their rights and responsibilities, and that the country's future depends on each individual's personal involvement. And the cleanup day held in Shymkent proved that respect for the Basic Law begins with simple actions—caring for one's city and a willingness to work for the common good. A clean and beautiful Shymkent is a shared treasure, and every contribution to this cause is important. May the Constitution always remain a symbol of strength, unity, and confidence in the future, and may initiatives like these become a good tradition, uniting people and inspiring new good deeds.

On August 28, a regional session dedicated to the implementation of the National Project "Energy and Utilities Sectors: Modernization and Development" was held in Shymkent. The event was chaired by Arman Malik, a representative of the Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies of the Ministry of National Economy. The session focused on the state of the city's utilities infrastructure, specifically the problems of Su Resurstary – Marketing, the water and sewerage company. In his speech, Arman Malik emphasized that the reliable operation of utility systems is directly linked to the quality of life of city residents and the stability of the economy as a whole. He noted that modernizing the energy sector and utility networks should be viewed as a strategic objective requiring the combined efforts of the government, business, and the expert community. He stated that such meetings help identify problem areas and propose practical mechanisms for addressing them. The session brought together a wide range of participants. Among those invited were Shymkent Deputy Mayor Arman Sabitov, representatives of natural monopolies, construction and design companies, domestic manufacturers, entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and delegations from the Turkestan and Zhambyl regions. This interregional involvement is explained by the fact that infrastructure modernization issues affect the interests of the entire southern Kazakhstan, and Shymkent's experience can be applied to neighboring regions. Participants paid special attention to the situation surrounding Su Resurstary Marketing LLC. According to official data, the deterioration of the sewer networks maintained by the company is 73.5%. This means that almost three-quarters of the utilities are in disrepair and require replacement or major reconstruction. Currently, the system is unable to cope with the growing load in the metropolis, creating risks to environmental safety and public health. To address this problem, a large-scale program to upgrade 164.4 kilometers of sewer lines is planned. The project will reduce deterioration by 16%, marking a significant step toward the sustainable development of the city's utilities sector. The total investment is estimated at 44.9 billion tenge, with key modernization stages scheduled for completion in 2026. Representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Construction, the national management holding company "Baiterek," JSC "Kazcenter Housing and Utilities," and the Development Bank of Kazakhstan spoke at the meeting. They discussed financing opportunities, public-private partnership mechanisms, and support measures for domestic equipment manufacturers. According to the experts, one of the key objectives is to maximize the potential of local businesses so that a significant portion of funds remains in the national economy. It's important to note that this isn't the first time such discussions have been held in Shymkent. In previous years, for example, in 2018 and 2020, issues related to the state of utility networks were raised, but back then, the primary focus was on water supply and ensuring stable water pressure in residential areas. Today, the situation has reached a new level – we're talking about a full-scale modernization of the sewerage system, which had been long delayed. Comparing current measures with past ones, it's clear that the government and businesses are now paying much more focused attention to the issue. Local residents are also actively interested in the progress of the reforms. Issues related to sewer system modernization were raised at public hearings, and residents have repeatedly expressed concern about frequent accidents and service interruptions. In this sense, the national project is perceived as a real opportunity to improve quality of life and reduce environmental risks. According to experts, the project's implementation is expected to not only reduce the number of emergencies but also significantly lower operating costs. This, in turn, should impact tariff policy: by reducing losses and emergency repairs, it will be possible to maintain tariffs at a more stable level. The role of innovative technologies was also an important aspect of the discussion. Representatives of construction and design organizations emphasized the need to use modern materials and solutions during network reconstruction, which will extend the service life of utilities and reduce the risk of accidents. The regional session in Shymkent demonstrated that modernization of the utilities sector is impossible without a systemic approach and coordinated action by all stakeholders. Unlike previous years, when discussions were more declarative, this year's event demonstrated the existence of concrete plans, financial instruments, and the political will to implement them. Thus, the attention paid to the problems of Su Resurstary-Marketing LLC has become a symbol of a larger effort to upgrade the city's infrastructure. Depreciation at 73.5% is alarming, but the launch of the reconstruction program gives hope that in the coming years, Shymkent will be able to significantly improve the condition of its public utilities and provide residents with decent living conditions.

On August 28, 2025, a regional session was held in Shymkent to discuss the national project "Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors". The event was chaired by Arman Malik, a representative of the Committee for Regulation of Natural Monopolies of the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and was attended by Arman Sabitov, Deputy Mayor of the city, representatives of natural monopoly entities, construction and design companies, domestic manufacturers, entrepreneurs, representatives of industry associations and financial institutions. Special delegations also arrived from Turkestan and Zhambyl regions. During the session, the main directions of the national project were discussed, and the strategic importance of modernizing the utility and energy systems for the country's development was noted. According to Arman Malik, modernizing the infrastructure is an important factor that not only improves the quality of life of the population, but also contributes to attracting investment and economic stability. In particular, the issues of "Su Resursy - Marketing" LLP in Shymkent were considered separately. Currently, the wear level of the sewer networks used by this enterprise is 73.5% . This is a serious problem that directly affects the quality of life of the city's residents. According to the plan, 164.4 kilometers of sewer networks will be modernized in the coming years, as a result of which the wear level is expected to decrease to 16% . 44.9 billion tenge will be invested within the project by 2026. It is known that previously several large-scale measures were taken in Shymkent to develop the water and utilities sector. For example, in 2015-2017, a project to reconstruct the city's drinking water systems was implemented, providing thousands of residents with clean drinking water. However, while the main feature of those projects was focused only on water supply, the current initiative is of a comprehensive nature: it is intended to completely modernize the sewage system, strengthen engineering networks, and improve the quality of services provided to consumers. In this regard, the main advantage of the 2025 national project is the strengthening of partnership between the state and business. If earlier modernization in the utility sector relied only on budget funds, now it is envisaged to involve domestic manufacturers and private investors. Representatives of the Baiterek National Management Holding, Kazcenter Housing and Utilities and the Development Bank of Kazakhstan, who participated in the session, presented new mechanisms for attracting investment and proposed specific ways of long-term financing. Another feature of the regional session was the opportunity to exchange experiences. Delegations from Turkestan and Zhambyl regions shared their experiences in the modernization of utility systems in their regions. For example, in Zhambyl region, during the reconstruction of water channels last year, local manufacturers were actively used, which allowed to reduce costs. In Turkestan, support from international financial institutions was widely used in the modernization of the electricity system. This meeting, held in Shymkent, was distinguished by its scale and systematic nature from similar initiatives in previous years. While previous projects were often focused on a specific sector, now the national project has acquired a comprehensive nature, fully encompassing energy, water, heating and sewage systems. In addition, the legislative framework has been strengthened to achieve concrete results. The Committee for the Regulation of Natural Monopolies has focused on improving tariff policy and ensuring the financial stability of public utilities. Thus, the session held on August 28 was of great importance for Shymkent. Since the city's population is increasing year by year, modernization of engineering infrastructure is the need of the hour. The new national project will be an important initiative that will not only solve technical problems, but also ensure social stability. It is planned to improve the quality of the utility and energy sectors of Shymkent by taking into account the experience of previous years and introducing new approaches. In conclusion, the regional session held in Shymkent was one of the concrete steps aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the national project. This initiative will undoubtedly create favorable conditions for the city's residents in the future and pave the way for the sustainable development of the metropolis.

August 30, 2025 , Shymkent – Improving living conditions and ensuring safety near the Koshkar Ata River became a pressing issue for residents of the Telman microdistrict in the Abay district. Local veterans proposed installing floodgates on the river to address potential flooding and improve embankment safety. This issue had been troubling residents of the microdistrict for several years, and finally, taking their suggestions into account, local authorities began addressing it. The Koshkar Ata River is not only an important natural landmark but also a potential threat to residents during heavy rains or snowmelt, when the water level can rise sharply. This has led to frequent flooding in areas near the river, raising concerns among residents. Therefore, neighborhood veterans proposed installing floodgates to regulate the water level and prevent potential flooding. The residents' initiative was heard, and local authorities began implementing the proposed idea. As a result, floodgates were installed in the necessary locations, which will not only help control water levels but also prevent flooding of adjacent areas. These measures will significantly improve residents' safety and make their lives more comfortable and secure. The process of installing sluice gates in the Qoshqar Ata River area was complex and required a precise approach. Sluice gates play a vital role in regulating water levels, especially during the rainy season or during snowmelt, when sudden river rises are possible. Installing such structures will ensure more stable operation of drainage systems and prevent flood risks. These measures will not only reduce the risk of flooding but also make the area safer to live in. The Telman microdistrict is home to many families, and safety is an important aspect of their lives. The installation of floodgates will provide additional protection from natural disasters and improve overall safety on the river. Remarkably, the floodgate installation project was the result of close collaboration between local authorities and neighborhood residents. Importantly, residents not only put forward suggestions for improving living conditions but also actively participated in the project's discussion and implementation. Citizen engagement was key to this project, making the solution more effective and taking into account the interests of local residents. At meetings with residents, project issues and nuances were discussed, and awareness-raising efforts were conducted on the importance of these measures. This not only enabled the implementation of a solution that met residents' needs but also created an atmosphere of mutual understanding and cooperation. The installation of the sluice gates is just one step in a broader process to improve infrastructure in the Abay and Telman neighborhoods. Further improvements to the area are planned, including upgrading the water supply, improving road conditions, and creating new public recreational and leisure areas. Local authorities are actively working to create comfortable living conditions. Future projects include improvements to parks, playgrounds, and public transportation, which in turn will contribute to the development of the district's social and economic potential. Importantly, all these changes are being implemented with the active participation of residents, making them more tangible and effective. The project to install sluice gates on the Qoshqar Ata River has not only practical but also environmental significance. Monitoring the river's water level will help prevent pollution of areas and water bodies, reduce risks to flora and fauna, and ensure clean and safe water resources. This will also improve the overall ecology of the area and enhance quality of life. Moreover, such projects enhance social stability by providing safer living conditions and creating additional opportunities for recreation and social interaction for residents. The implementation of such initiatives strengthens trust between authorities and citizens, improving community interaction. The project to install floodgates on the Qoshqar Ata River in the Telman microdistrict is a shining example of how effective collaboration between local authorities and residents can lead to tangible improvements in city life. Importantly, such initiatives not only address specific problems but also contribute to the creation of a safer and more comfortable urban environment. Further improvements to the district's infrastructure are planned, and these steps will contribute to a better quality of life for all Shymkent residents. Cooperation, active citizen participation, and timely measures to modernize the city's infrastructure will make Shymkent an even more modern and livable city.

August 30, 2025 , Shymkent — Veterans of the Telman microdistrict of the Abay district turned to local authorities with their proposals and demands. Residents suggested the need to install locks on the banks of the Koshkar Ata river. This issue was of great importance for residents, since the condition and safety of the riverbank directly affects their daily lives. The riverside can always be dangerous, especially during floods or rising river levels. In this regard, their proposal was soon supported by local authorities. The Koshkar Ata River, along with its natural beauty, must also ensure the safety and daily life of its residents. Due to its specifics, the banks of this river often suffer from flooding, especially during the rainy season. Veterans and local residents, as well as the district akimat, are concerned about this issue and have proposed taking additional measures to protect the river banks. They have initiated the installation of sluices in certain places along the river to prevent flooding. Sluices are structures designed to control river levels and prevent flooding. This proposal was immediately accepted, and the necessary work began. As a result, sluices were installed on the banks of the Koshkar Ata River, which allowed regulating the river level and preventing coastal flooding. In addition, these measures improved the ecological condition of the river and increased the safety of local residents. The installation of locks was an important step in improving the condition of the riverbank. This measure will control the level of the river, ensuring that it dries up in the summer and does not flood in the winter. Additional structures are aimed only at maintaining the ecological balance, without harming the natural system of the river. This innovation was a great help for residents. Especially during the rainy season or when snow melts, the river level could often rise and flood nearby houses and gardens. Sluices are an effective tool to prevent such disasters. In addition, as a result of this measure, additional landscaping works were carried out on the riverbank, which did not change the natural landscape and increased the beauty of the city. One of the main requirements of residents is to ensure safety and comfort. People living in the Telman microdistrict of Abay district experience this problem in their daily lives. As you know, the banks of the Koshkar Ata River are expanding, and its ecological condition and safety are one of the most important issues for the residents of the district. The installation of floodgates will not only prevent flooding, but also help preserve the nature and ecology of the riverbanks and protect people's health. In addition, it is planned to create safe recreation areas for residents along the river, install sports fields. This will also improve the quality of life of residents and allow them to have a good time in the public environment. This work is not limited to improving the condition of the riverbank. A number of other important projects are being implemented to improve the infrastructure of the district. Taking into account the opinions and suggestions of residents and veterans, the district akimat plans to undertake additional infrastructure work. These include repairing roads, upgrading drinking water systems, building playgrounds, and improving the public transport system. The cooperation of local authorities and residents plays a big role in this. Measures such as the installation of locks not only improve the riverbank, but also improve the ecological and social condition of the area as a whole. All these works are aimed at creating a comfortable environment for residents, and all residents support these changes. The installation of gateways in the Telman microdistrict of the Abay district of Shymkent is the result of effective cooperation between residents and the authorities. These measures, implemented in response to the suggestions and problems of residents, have made a significant contribution to improving the city's infrastructure. In turn, such initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of life and ensuring the safety of the population. This is not only a unique project, but also a good example of cooperation between society and authorities. In the future, many more infrastructure projects will be implemented based on the requests and suggestions of the district residents.

Only then will it be possible to improve the quality of life and make the Miras neighborhood more comfortable and modern for its residents.

August 29, 2025 , Shymkent — One of the pressing issues for the residents of Shymkent, especially the Miras microdistrict, in the past few years has been the incomplete solution of the sewage system. This problem arose as a result of the rapid development of the city and affects the daily lives of residents. The city is taking appropriate measures to address this issue, but due to its complexity, the problem has not been fully resolved. The issue of the sewage system in the Miras microdistrict has not been resolved for several years.
