Recovered assets flow into village water for a second day

For the second morning in a row, Kazakhstan's government has taken money from its recovered-assets fund and pointed it at rural water: 2.7 billion tenge (about $5.7 million) on Thursday, after 5 billion tenge (about $10.6 million) on Wednesday.

Recovered assets flow into village water for a second day

Thursday's allocation goes to completing the reconstruction of the Presnovsky and Sokolovsky group water pipelines in North Kazakhstan region. Wednesday's pays for water pipeline construction in Aktobe region. Both notes were posted at 08:00 on the prime minister's site under the asset-recovery rubric; Thursday's names the Special State Fund, which holds assets returned to the state, as the source. Two days, two regions, 7.7 billion tenge (about $16.4 million) of recovered money turned into waterlines.

The notes name sums and systems, and stop there: no completion dates, no contractors. Those will have to be read from the procurement record.
