Balykchi – Korumdu road. Accounts of Long Hai company blocked
Accounts of Long Hai Chinese company were blocked because of debts to subcontractors. Press service of the Ministry of Transport and Roads informed 24.kg news agency.
Kyrgyz Zhol Kurulush Company filed a lawsuit. It accused Long Hai of late payment for its services. By court order, all accounts of the Chinese company were blocked. Because of this, workers have not been paid for four months.
The construction of the road began in 2016 on the initiative of the Prime Minister Temir Sariev. A distinctive feature was a full financing of the project from the budget. A scandal broke out over the choice of the contractor. As a result, Zamirbek Aidarov, Minister of Transport and Roads, and Temir Sariev, head of the Cabinet itself, lost their posts.
It turned out later that there was no money for construction of the road in the budget. Long Hai employees regularly strike because of non-payment of wages.
