In the region, they are working on the creation of a web portal, thanks to which representatives of SMEs can find out whether a particular land plot is free or occupied, whether any engineering communications and other necessary information pass under it. This became known during the meeting of Pavlodar Oblast Akim with businessmen in Atameken Oblast chamber of entrepreneurs.
At the next meeting, Bulat Bakauov invited entrepreneurs to consider all the problematic issues that they cannot solve on their own. As it turned out, many businessmen are concerned about the problem of issuing a land plot. In their opinion, most often this procedure is too bureaucratic.
“We planned to build a gymnasium of 500 square meters in the area of the Radio Plant near the site where we already have a base, there is a corresponding project,” – said Leila Yussupova, the Director of TekhStroyKompleks, LLP. – “Of the three sites that are adjacent to ours, one was free. It was there that we wanted to start construction, for which we submitted an application for the purchase of a site through an auction in February of this year.”
According to the businesswoman, at first, they were refused, citing the fact that there are several pines and elms on the site. Then the applicant wrote to the Akimat in writing, promising not to touch the pine and restore the elm trees in five times the size. However, the issue has not been resolved for 9 months.
“The entrepreneur himself wants to build a sports facility, to invest his KZT 40-50 million, but he is not helped,” – the Head of the region was outraged. – “We do it as follows: they accept the statement, they promise to respond soon, and when they give an answer, it is lost. The applicant begins to look for it, comes again, and here it all begins in the second round. Then he gets a duty response: “green areas on the site,” “communication goes through here”, “adjacent plot interferes”, “provide the RAP” and so on. Then the entrepreneur complains to Astana, although he just wants to build a sports hall in Pavlodar. Yes, such businessmen should be made a fuss over them and we should work separately with each of them!”
Another entrepreneur complained that he could not get a plot for the construction of a road service facility in the suburb of Pavlodar. Businessmen who intend to invest tens of millions of tenge in the construction of a cafe and a small hotel are ready to start work right now, but they have to wait for the auction to sell the land plot. In addition, not the fact that they will be able to win in the auction.
“We will take each of such questions on tight control, we will meet in 15 days and see what the results of the work are,” – the Oblast Akim said. – “Now in Pavlodar in the building on Krivenko, 25, where almost all the administrative services of the city are located, repairs are underway. I think that an “open akimat” should work there on the ground floor so that businessmen can solve all their problems in one place.”
Representatives of Pavlodarsol LLP also came to Atameken. According to Director Denis Semyonov, today the company is engaged in a project for the extraction of salt in Ekibastuz with an investment of KZT 880 million and the creation of 69 new jobs. However, the enterprise cannot register the four necessary land plots. It is because of businessmen cannot hand over a ready-made project for examination. To solve the problem with the provision of land, which worries SMEs so much, is proposed using a new web portal.
“Within the framework of the Digital Kazakhstan program, we are working on the issue of creating a portal on which all land plots will be visible,” – the Deputy Oblast Akim, Zhaiyk Sharabassov, said. -“Thanks to this portal, businessmen will see whether the land is free, whether communications pass under it, and so on. That is, we will try to translate services for the provision of sites into digital format.”
At the end of the meeting, Bulat Bakauov handed over to the representatives of the regional Chamber of Entrepreneurs a folder with appeals from businesspersons. The Head of the region also instructed all local Akims to work out the problems of SMEs.
