Privatization of quasi-public sector: is it sabotage and fraud?
NCE considered the issue of the company, which has faced problems after the acquisition of shares in the affilated company "Samruk-Kazyna"
At the Council on the protection of entrepreneurs' rights and anti-corruption NCE RK "Atameken" was considered the appeal of LLP "Kan Group", which has faced several challenges after the acquisition of a stake at LLP "FN Management" (51%). Other shares are owned by JSC "Real Estate Fund" Samruk-Kazyna "(49%).
"We appeal to the Council to help in with our relations with partners in the face of the Real Estate Fund "Samruk-Kazyna". We believed that we will work with the Fund as partners for mutual benefit that will generate income. But the development plan, that we approved first, was foiled. Many objects have been taken away. Such problems have arisen just after the privatization. Logically, we and our partners have to make profit from joint business activities, instead we get sticks in our wheels. Today we suffer losses, reduction of staff", - said CEO Kayrat Aybosynov.
The businessman said that after the privatization, the Fund withdrew the power of attorney for the managed objects, suspended from work 'KAN-group" and introduced a company, which was established just over a month ago. In addition, the cost of office was increased to 15 million tenge.
"The privatization process lasted very long. Almost half a year we did the legwork and papers that eventually led to the loss of some revenue. Then we have approved our budget for a long time. This year's budget has not been approved yet, because there were disputes regarding expenditures. Everyone understands that we work with the Fund at prime cost. At the same time, the Fund attempts to increase its income. It could receive them at the expense of dividends, but it interferes with the operating part ", - added Aybosynov.
The director of design analysis of the department of investment activity of "Samruk-Kazyna" Elzhas Otynshiev commented on the situation, who noted that the Real Estate Fund has fulfilled its contractual obligations. The sides expressed readiness to investigate the situation.
"What is the purpose of privatization, what the President is talking about? First of all, you have to return money to the state, to remove the load. A private company must bring a new vision, new technologies. They studied your business, they believed you and invested 48 million tenge - this is good money ", - said the deputy of the Mazhilis of the Parliament Meruert Kazbekova, referring to the national company.
She suggested to conduct analysis of the privatization process. "First of all, to examine the fate of all the companies that participated in the privatization; what sums have been spent; which companies have survived; how many companies were bought up and who has bought them; who is the founder of this company. I think we will see a lot of interesting things. There are certainly relatives among the founders, who run these companies", - she said.
"I see such a scheme: people promise to private companies, they invest 48 million tenge. You were offered to buy out your for less money?” she addressed to Aybosynov
"Not yet, but it comes to that", - he said.
"... That is, they force people to go and pick up at least 28 million tenge", - concluded Kazbekova.
The head of the Council Kairbek Suleimenov commented on the situation. "I like a man with a wealth of experience in law enforcement, I want to tell you young people, from the point of view of criminal law, if an investigator proves that your actions have had, if not direct, but in any case, indirect intent, this is a "fraud on a large scale", - he said.
Suleimenov called such situations hidden sabotage of the policy of the Head of State. "The President says: If we do not create a middle class – we will collapse. But the middle class is created through privatization. I agree that it is necessary to analyze the whole process of privatization", - he said.
As a result, the Council recommended that the Board of JSC "National Welfare Fund "Samruk-Kazyna" to consider disputes between JSC "Real Estate Fund" and LLP "FN Management", the share of the authorized capital of which was sold during the first phase of privatization and to take steps to resolve any disagreements
