Residents of Almaty's Kairat district say compensation of 6.4 million tenge per sotka offered for 197 homes slated for demolition to make way for a road is too low to buy equivalent housing. The city akimat says the amount covers only land, with houses and trees assessed separately and owners who accept having one month to vacate. The road project is proceeding despite residents' demand for fair valuation.
The Compensation Complaint
A Kairat homeowner whose house is slated for demolition told Ulysmedia her family has already received notice of the upcoming demolition. She called the compensation offer 'arbitrariness, not compensation' and said 6.4 million tenge per sotka is not enough to buy equivalent housing. The resident said her family is not opposed to city development but demands a fair and honest property valuation.
Road Route Dispute
Other residents of Almaty's Kairat district question why the new road is routed through residential plots, saying existing roads in the microdistrict could be expanded instead. They said no expert assessment or conclusion was made specifically for that route. Owners argue that because the district is becoming a new center of attraction, land should not be valued at 6.4 million tenge per sotka.
Akimat Valuation Terms
The city akimat earlier said 6.4 million tenge per sotka covers land only, with each house valued separately by material, year of construction, and repairs. It also promised separate compensation for trees on plots. The road plan affects 197 owners; if an owner accepts the proposed sum, they have one month to vacate, while those who disagree must contest the compensation in court.
