Prosecutors in Kazakhstan's Akmola region restored Invataxi service rights for 31 people with disabilities, including 25 minors, after finding illegal hourly limits in the public procurement contract. The Burabay district prosecutor's office acted on complaints from Shchuchinsk residents and ordered changes to the technical specification and an additional agreement removing the restrictions.
Key Facts
- The Burabay district prosecutor's office restored Invataxi rights for 31 people with disabilities, including 25 minors, in Shchuchinsk, Akmola region.
- The public procurement technical specification had imposed a limit on machine-hours per service recipient, which is not provided for by current rules for transporting people with disabilities.
- The customer had not defined the Invataxi service's operating hours for daytime, nighttime, weekends, and holidays, which prosecutors said limited equal access to transport services.
- Following the prosecutor's intervention, the technical specification was amended and an additional agreement to the public procurement contract removed the per-recipient hourly limits.
Prosecutor's Check
The Burabay district prosecutor's office launched the check after residents of Shchuchinsk filed complaints about violations of the rights of people with disabilities in the provision of the Invataxi service. The check found that the technical specification for the public procurement included a limit on the number of machine-hours for each service recipient. Current rules for transporting people with disabilities do not provide for such restrictions, according to the prosecutor's office. The customer also failed to define the Invataxi service's operating hours for daytime, nighttime, weekends, and holidays. The prosecutor's office stated that these omissions negatively affected citizens' equal access to transport services.
Restored Rights
As a result of the measures taken, the rights of 31 people with disabilities, including 25 minors, were restored. The technical specification was amended to remove the per-recipient hourly limits. An additional agreement to the public procurement contract was concluded, excluding provisions that limited the number of hours of Invataxi service for each recipient. The General Prosecutor's Office of Kazakhstan reported the restoration of rights through its press service.
