At a meeting of the Land Resources Commission chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Serik Zhumangarin, the Government considered a number of issues related to the seizure of land plots from farmers.
The main issue is the creation of a legal framework for identifying bona fide and unscrupulous land users, which will enable authorized bodies to act within the legal framework when making these decisions.
To do this, a working group chaired by the Vice Minister of Agriculture, which includes deputy akims of the regions, representatives of the Prosecutor General's Office, Judicial Administration, Anti-Corruption Agency, Ministry of National Economy and NCE "Atameken", has developed a proposal to create special commissions in the regions. They will deal with the issue of the continuation of land use rights based on a number of criteria.
These include the use of land in accordance with its intended purpose, payment of taxes, attraction of investments, development of rural areas and others. In order to comply with all legal procedures, amendments are being made to the regulation of the Ministry of Agriculture in terms of giving the state agency competence to develop and approve a model provision and an algorithm for the actions of this special regional commission. After that, the Ministry of Agriculture will develop a regulation and an algorithm of actions of the regional commission to resolve the issue of continuing land use rights for existing agricultural producers.
The meeting also considered the issue of owners of agricultural land in the Karaganda and Pavlodar regions, who had duplication in ownership due to the imposition of borders.
Following the discussion, Serik Zhumangarin instructed to carefully study all archival documents and cartographic data to clarify the true boundaries of the disputed lands and resolve the issue that arose.
Recall that since the beginning of 2024, more than 2 million hectares of agricultural land have been returned to state ownership. The Ministry of Agriculture's Land Management Committee conducted about 1,750 unscheduled inspections of land users on a total area of 2.8 million hectares. According to their results, 1,342 prescriptions were made to eliminate violations of land legislation on an area of 2.2 million hectares.
According to the regulations issued earlier this year, the development of agricultural land on an area of 311.3 thousand hectares has begun. Legal proceedings are underway for the compulsory seizure of 200.4 thousand hectares of agricultural land.
In addition, within the framework of state control over the use and protection of land, in particular, over the legality of decisions taken by local executive bodies in the field of land legislation of Kazakhstan, 875 illegal decisions of akimats on the provision of agricultural land plots with an area of 368.5 thousand hectares were revealed. Of these, 84 decisions were canceled.
All inspections were carried out on the basis of appeals from citizens and representations from the prosecutor's office. The main nature of the violations is the provision of land outside of tenders, violations of the procedure for holding tenders for the provision of agricultural land, the provision of common pasture lands for separate land use, and others.
