In Nookat, 55 ethnic Kyrgyz were allocated 20 hundredths of land each, and after 20 years it was revealed that the decision was illegal.
According to the presidential representative's office in the region, Amankan Kenjebayev met with residents who arrived from the Kok-Jar rural municipality of the Nookat district. The citizens reported problems related to a land plot that have remained unresolved for a long time.
During the meeting, criticism was directed at local government representatives.
The press service of the representative's office also published a video showing how, during the reception of residents, the presidential representative connects online with the head of the rural municipality to clarify details regarding this issue.
Presidential representative Kenjebayev asks: "What has been done regarding this issue?".
In response, the head of the Nookat district administration, Ababakyr Arynov, explained the following: "These citizens who came are ethnic Kyrgyz who moved to our district. We do not know what decisions were made back then, but some political decision was made, and as these citizens say, a resolution was issued to allocate 20 hundredths each. However, this land has not been reclassified from agricultural land to residential land. To this day, these houses and lands have not been legalized."
Kenjebayev: "If you still have not issued them the 'red book' (state act), then later, under the presidential amnesty (land amnesty law), you should have accepted them. Was there a decision by the rural council that you can only give 7 hundredths?".
Ababakyr Arynov: "Yes, there was a decision by the rural council."
Amankan Kenjebayev: "Based on this decision, I am correctly explaining to them. I say that the rural council deputies will make a decision regarding them. They say: 'We still cannot obtain the "red book", and I am surprised: under the presidential amnesty, you should have already registered the documents and issued them. Did you receive the state act?".
Those sitting nearby said that they received it.
Amankan Kenjebayev: "When?".
Ababakyr Arynov: "The citizens received it, yes."
Amankan Kenjebayev: "Why didn't these people receive it, Azizbek?".
Head of the Kok-Jar rural municipality Azizbek Shamuратов: "Their plots are located on agricultural land."
Amankan Kenjebayev: "I understand agricultural land, but you should have accepted them under the amnesty."
Azizbek Shamuратов: "We legalized all their houses and foundations; they received 7 hundredths each. Previously, when allocating to each, they were given 20 hundredths."
Amankan Kenjebayev: "How did you give 20 hundredths if there was no land transformation?".
Azizbek Shamuратов: "That is how it was given before. After the amnesty, it was legalized and issued."
Amankan Kenjebayev: "I see, so your lands issued at 20 hundredths become illegal."
Azizbek Shamuратов: "Yes."
Amankan Kenjebayev, addressing the residents: "Here is your first resolution: you were issued land, violating the law. And now the 7 hundredths issued are legal. You will receive the 'red book' as required, obtain such a state act, and will be able to use it. And this other one — essentially, a hasty, forced job, so to speak. In my understanding, this was done in violation of the law when you first moved, to accommodate you somehow. But why didn't you issue a decision to cancel this resolution? Why didn't you first annul the illegal resolution, inform the people about it, hand it over, and then adopt a new decision? Then people would understand correctly. Yet, without canceling the previous resolution, you then issue 7 hundredths. Cancel the previous resolution and inform the people. Say: 'This turned out to be illegal, it was issued incorrectly. Your resolution is canceled.' Why don't you cancel it?
Ababakyr, who is this — our deputy akim or head of the office? Head of the office. Don't you check what is happening in the rural municipality? What are you doing? Why don't you communicate with us, resolve issues with the people, local authorities? To date, they have received legal 7 hundredths, and your previous resolution is illegal. Why haven't you canceled it? Head of the office, take note: the head of the Kok-Jar rural municipality is sitting here, there is the chairman of the rural council — all together make a decision. Conduct explanatory work with the population."
Regarding this, the head of the Kok-Jar rural municipality, Azizbek Shamuратов, provided an explanation to the publication Turmush and elaborated on the history of the issue.
"Here is how it was. On the Sarykandy plot of the Kok-Jar rural municipality, a resolution was issued on November 23, 2003. To 55 ethnic Kyrgyz citizens, based on systematic registration, 20 hundredths of land were allocated to each. Of these, 12 citizens had plots located on agricultural land, so they did not fall under systematic registration, and based on the law 'On Land Amnesty', by the resolution of the local council, they were also allocated 7 hundredths. They were issued state acts. These citizens, like the others, went to the regional leader with a request: 'Make the 7 hundredths into 20 hundredths.' When they were told: 'You can cultivate the remaining land under a labor contract,' they do not agree to this either," he said.
