In the Lenin district, on Lushchikhina Street, local residents turned to deputy Zhyldyz Sadyrbaeva with complaints about a constant unpleasant odor coming from the factory. Despite this, government representatives are convinced that "Coca-Cola" produces no odor at all. The deputy raised this issue at a session of the Jogorku Kenesh, pointing out violations during the construction of the factory. She noted that sanitary standards were not adhered to, and the factory's fence was erected too close to residential buildings.
Deputy Prime Minister Daniyar Amangeldiev did not promise to conduct an inspection, stating that the factory was built long before residential developments appeared. Moreover, he effectively acted as a representative of the company, claiming that "Coca-Cola," as an international brand, guarantees the absence of harmful emissions.
This raises the question: why is Amangeldiev so persistently defending the interests of "Coca-Cola"? Instead of investigating the situation and identifying the source of the odor that troubles people, the official refers to the brand's reputation. It seems that if a company is well-known and wealthy enough, it does not need to be checked? Residents complain about unpleasant odors, and in response, they are told about "global standards" and ecology. It is unclear why the official prioritizes business interests over the concerns of ordinary citizens.
