Almaty Region Akim Marat Sultangaziev cleaned a beach in Konayev alongside utility employees during a weekly 'Taza Kazakhstan' cleanup event. The informal setting gave workers a chance to speak directly with the regional governor about their working conditions and daily challenges. Efforts to foster dialogue with essential workers come as authorities promote the constitutional principle of a clean environment.
The Joint Clean-Up
Marat Sultangaziev unexpectedly joined utility workers on their morning shift at a Konayev beach. The group collected litter and tidied the area as part of the nationwide 'Taza Kazakhstan' environmental campaign. Workers said the akim’s participation allowed them to discuss their jobs in an informal setting outside routine meetings.
Worker Feedback and Rewards
During and after the cleanup, employees spoke about the challenges of keeping the city clean, often starting work before dawn. They raised issues such as workload, public attitudes toward sanitation workers, and the need for greater recognition. At the end, Sultangaziev thanked the workers, presented gifts, and stressed that a clean environment is a constitutional duty shared by all. The akimat intends to hold more meetings in this format to directly learn about communal issues and highlight these essential occupations.
