Serik Umbetov, governor of Almaty region:
- Then Yeginsu and Ak Togan will be repaired. These two villages were started late, because Yeginsu was under water for 20-25 days. Therefore, we are completing their reconstruction now. There will be kindergarten and school there. On August 10 we will finish Ak Togan for 100%. Schools and houses are also built there. Kyzylagash is already completed.
Kazakhstani people collected more than 7 billion tenge to help the victims of villages. And all the money wasn’t spent in vain and people can’t become richer due to others’ trouble.
