Questions to the Governor from “Ak Zhaik” newspaper:

- Have you managed to find out any information about fish trap nets installed at the mouth of the river?

- I read your article exactly a week ago, as you know, during these days I went to Inder District, then we opened a few investment projects, then I was preparing for this report … I admit that I didn't manage to find out yet. If I promise – I'll do it. I try to fulfill all my promises.

- Concerning the fence on the river embankment near the residence: have your position changed in connection with persistent demand of the public?

- That fence was built before I became the governor. When public started to criticize it, I opened the passage, but the result was bad: young people gathered there and every morning my people collected empty alcohol bottles there, there was disorder. You know the purpose of that residence, I once gave an explanation to that. Your question was if my position changed? No, it didn't change.
