People’s Construction is a truly national project of historic significance, Kazakh President

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has stated the need for strict oversight of expenditures under the People's Construction program. Funds from the National Fund are planned to be allocated for the construction of social facilities and the renewal of infrastructure, El.kz reports citing Aqorda.

Speaking about the objectives of the program, the President emphasized that future generations must be left with functioning schools, hospitals, and other essential facilities. He called for results to be assessed by what has been built for the people, rather than by the number of concepts and plans prepared.

"But most importantly, we must leave to future generations, as a legacy, real social facilities that will serve the people, instead of concepts and plans, as well as funds held in foreign securities that depreciate over time," the President said.

A total of 6.5 trln tenge from the National Fund has been allocated for the implementation of People's Construction over the next three years. The previously published Address specified that the funding is projected through the end of 2029.

"A special commission will closely monitor that these substantial funds are spent economically and without embezzlement. I am currently considering the composition of this commission. The main requirement is that its members perform their work professionally and effectively," Tokayev stressed.

Tokayev separately addressed the special commission, which will oversee the efficient use of funds and the prevention of embezzlement. According to the President, the composition of the commission is still under consideration, and its members are expected to work professionally and deliver results.

Earlier, Kazakhstan unveiled plans for the construction of social facilities. The program provides for the renewal of schools, healthcare institutions, roads, and utility networks in the regions.

The Head of State also called on citizens and state bodies to treat public property responsibly. In his remarks, he specifically referred to the damaging of public facilities, littering of streets, and the degradation of human dignity, underscoring the need to comply with the law.
