The National Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship reviewed the draft order of the Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This project makes significant changes to the Rules for monitoring the fulfillment by subsoil users of obligations under contracts and licenses in order to comply with the recently adopted Law on Digitalization and Improvement of the Investment Climate.

What's new?

Now, thanks to the use of space monitoring data, monitoring the fulfillment of obligations will become more accurate and transparent. Satellite imagery will be used to track changes and identify irregularities. However, the Center believes that the current version of the project needs to be improved.

Problems and suggestions

The presented project lacks specifics on the procedures for using space monitoring. Details of data collection, storage and analysis, as well as methods for comparing this data with the reporting of subsoil users are not specified. The center offers:

Clarity and Transparency: Include detailed instructions on how to use satellite imagery, how to update it regularly, and how to analyze it.
Data security: Create a secure database for storing satellite images, limiting access to it only to authorized persons.
Data comparison: Ensure regular comparison of space data with the reporting of subsoil users to identify possible violations.
Specific proposals of the Center:

Monthly update of satellite images: Ensure regular monitoring using satellite data.
Secure Data Storage: Space monitoring data must be stored for five years in a secure database.
Transparent access and auditing: Restrict access to data to authorized individuals and record all data transactions in an audit trail.
The General Director of the Center, A. Dzhakupov, emphasizes that in order to ensure transparency and objectivity of the process of monitoring subsoil use, it is necessary to carefully finalize the draft order. Only if these conditions are met can reliable and effective monitoring be guaranteed.
