Tumonbaev noted that the head of the Ministry of Construction actively shares information on social media about the high salaries of his employees, which reach 500,000 soms. "At the same time, the cost of housing on the market continues to rise. Construction companies report that the increase in prices per square meter is related to the Ministry of Construction's requirements for payment of licenses and taxes. These issues need to be addressed by the relevant committee. While budget employees receive 30-40 thousand soms, some workers in the Ministry of Construction have salaries five times higher. This is completely wrong," he expressed his dissatisfaction.
His opinion was supported by the Speaker of Parliament, Nurlanbek Turgunbek uulu, who noted that the issue raised is relevant and requires attention. "Representatives of the construction industry are turning to parliament with complaints about existing problems. The Ministry of Construction sets tariffs that are beneficial to it, while their approval should have occurred through the Jogorku Kenesh. This undoubtedly leads to the rising cost of housing in the country. It is important to study this situation in detail in the relevant committee before bringing it to the plenary session," the speaker added.
