According to him, the cost of obtaining a permit to catch three kilograms of fish exceeds 600 soms.
“This is a one-time ticket, not an annual one as it was before. Payment is only made through MegaPay. Why not set the price at 100 soms per kilogram and allow people to pay through banks that are convenient for them? Citizens are expressing dissatisfaction with the prices and the complexity of payment. There are pensioners, fishing enthusiasts, and federations training children,” Bekeshev noted.
In response, the director of the fisheries department, Jalilbek Toymatov, stated that the agency is also receiving similar complaints and is currently exploring the possibility of reducing prices for pensioners.
“Prices have changed since last year, and they were calculated by the Academy of Sciences,” he added.
Toymatov also mentioned that the possibility of payment through various banks and applications is being discussed.
