Prominent agro-expert Kirill Pavlov is dissatisfied with the permission to hunt saiga antelopes. Additionally, he is specifically outraged that authorities have classified certain information.
Verbatim: «The government has classified the justification for killing saiga antelopes… The necessity of regulating the saiga antelope population was stipulated by the Zhangaqan Central Asian Transborder Biosphere Reserve — a subsidiary of the National Center for Biotechnology (NACBT). As a member of the Board of Directors and an independent director of the NACBT, I requested this document.
But they won’t give it to me, citing the ‘For Official Use Only (FOUO)’ classification, which is purportedly imposed by the government on the document.
In this regard, I have a question — to what extent is the government entitled to classify the activities of its ‘subsidiary’ from a board member?
To what extent is the government entitled to classify documents related to the plundering of national assets?
How legitimate is Nametov in these matters? He, as the head of agrarian science, signed a document according to which around 30,000 hectares of land can now be transferred to a Chinese company. Nametov generally seems to like the Chinese since they are the main buyers, right?
Wake up, Azamats, there’s a business scheme unfolding right under your nose using national assets.»
