"We should discuss these questions at the session of the state commission on Almaty development that I initially scheduled to be held next week.

K. Masimov emphasized that the issue of Almaty development and frontier territories is very "important and problematic." In this connection, K. Masimov charged to work through all the proposals on Almaty development by the state commission session put forward at the session of the government commission.

As it was already informed, akim of Almaty Imangali Tasmagambetov put forward a number of proposals, including introduction of amendments to the legislation. In particular, he suggests increasing penal sanctions for unauthorized construction.
