Глава государства встретился с жителями Костанайского района

The President, at the operational headquarters deployed in the city of Tobol, met with residents of the villages of the Kostanay region affected by the flood.

Kassym-Jomart Tokayev thanked everyone for their civic activity and concern, noting that the unity of the people is clearly manifested in such difficult times.

– I came specifically to meet you. I understand the situation is difficult. All resources available to the state are directed to solving the corresponding problem. As President, I see it as my priority to provide maximum assistance to you affected by the floods,” said the Head of State.

The President announced that he had decided to introduce a regime of austerity of public funds in order to send them to citizens. He also assured that all victims will be provided with the necessary assistance.

– The most important thing is compensation, and it will be paid. Moreover, those who have lost their housing or need repairs will be allocated funds. Whoever wants to move into apartments, we will buy and provide apartments. For those who want to stay where they are, but under no circumstances should they stay in dangerous places, we will build standard houses for those people. There is a design for such houses. These houses will be built en masse throughout the summer and into winter. I set a task for the Government so that construction would be launched in the coming summer months, as well as in the fall, and the consequences of the disaster would be completely eliminated,” said Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
