Kazakhstan's Wasted Millions: Irrigation Projects Left Unfinished

Kazakhstan's Irrigation Funds: A Case of Mismanagement? Millions of dollars in international loans were designated for the reconstruction of irrigation systems in Kazakhstan. However, a recent video investigation by SANZHAR BOKAYEV reveals a concerning picture of unfinished projects and missing equipment in Zhambyl and Aktobe regions. The video shows sites where millions of tenge were spent, yet the work remains incomplete. Local farmers interviewed in the video express their frustration with the lack of water and increased costs. "We took out loans to buy irrigation systems, but the work wasn't finished, and now we're left with nothing," says one farmer. The video raises serious questions about government oversight and the allocation of public funds. The investigation highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in government spending projects.
