“The greatest discussion was caused by fines; yesterday a regional law was adopted. We talked with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and colleagues yesterday, delved into it, before making a decision at the State Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan, fines should definitely be applied only to violators.
We are still working out how to do this until Wednesday; until Wednesday we will only have preventive conversations. There is only one task: not a single person who actually went out of need to buy food or medicine will suffer. We will work out how to do this.
As for violators, there were discussions that the fines were high. Let’s ask the staff of the Armyansk hospital and those patients who are locked there for two weeks, cannot communicate with their relatives and cannot leave at all, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the National Guard, who are on duty there around the clock, is this a lot or a little?” – said Aksenov.
