According to him, the cost of designing one square meter ranges from $15 to $20. Considering that architects work with areas of 1,000 to 2,000 square meters, the amount becomes significant. Previously, before the establishment of the Architecture Department, 54 regional departments were only involved in project approvals, while private companies handled all the drawing work. The deputy minister noted that even deputies approached them for projects. As a result, a department was created that unites the best architects and engineers, allowing them to compete with private firms. For example, one of the architects, N. Ch., earned 477,368 soms while conducting a topographic survey over an area of 4,823 hectares, which requires high qualifications and precision.
Imanakun uulu added that only 45 people in the ministry receive salaries from the state budget, while 2,236 employees are fully self-sufficient, including paying taxes. Over the past year, the department paid 68 million soms in taxes. The deputy minister reported that his salary is 64,000 soms, the salary of specialists is 45,000 soms, and the chief specialist's salary is 80,000 soms.
Deputy Kunduzbek Suimanov noted that students at the medical academy study for nine years, but their incomes are significantly lower.
To this, Imanakun uulu responded that employees of private clinics earn a higher income.
Nevertheless, the deputy pointed out that this concerns a state structure, and the comparison between the lengths of study is not correct.
Furthermore, Imanakun uulu reported that N. Ch. had not received a salary for four months, as the reward is paid only after the completion of the order, and the design process can take up to a year. Thus, if the amount is divided over a year, it would amount to 180,000 to 200,000 soms.
