As part of ensuring law and order in the field of housing and communal services, as well as as part of the implementation of the Anti-Corruption Volunteerism project, public monitoring of the condition of the roadway was carried out in the city of Ust-Kamenogorsk. The monitoring covered a section of the road along the passage from Pogranichnaya Street to Nazarbayev Avenue, 93. The monitoring was initiated by anti-corruption volunteer Pshenov Adil. As a result of the on-site inspection, significant damage to the road surface was recorded, which causes concern on the part of the townspeople and an active discussion in the public space. Following the monitoring results, A. Pshenov sent an official appeal to the authorized body — the Housing and Communal Services department of the Akimat of Ust-Kamenogorsk. The letter indicates the need for repair work on the specified site due to its unsatisfactory condition. In addition, the appeal contains an instruction to carry out repairs under warranty on another problematic site — from Nazarbayev Avenue to Bazhov Street. According to the current regulations, the work performed earlier by the contractor is subject to the elimination of defects within the framework of the warranty obligation. This example of civic engagement confirms the importance of the participation of concerned residents in the process of increasing transparency and accountability in the housing and communal services sector, as well as in combating corruption in the public procurement system and quality control of work performed.
