We all know about the difficult situation at the enterprise. The problems began a long time ago, we have been talking about this for a long time and are sounding the alarm. We posted detailed information on the Company's website and social networks. We also sent you detailed information that the plant management may not bring to you.
This week I visited the plant, talked with many colleagues. A little over 100 people remained at the plant, half of the production staff. Together with the specialists, we carefully walked through the workshops and examined the new administrative building.
After my return to work in April of this year, I immediately came to your factory and found money to pay wages. But then a lot was hidden from me, for example, they did not show the offices of your former leadership with secret lounges and a billiard room. Allocated public money went to a new office, not to production.
Now everyone boldly talks about problems, about theft and embezzlement.
In the near future, according to the decision of creditors, an audit will begin. All expenses will be carefully studied, the information will be brought to the attention of the team, and if violations are detected, the materials will be transferred to the appropriate authorities.
As you know, the plant is being rehabilitated by a court decision. The plant is now subordinate to the Committee of Creditors, and not to Kazakhstan Engineering. The plant owes about 3 billion tenge to more than 20 different creditors.
You know that Kazakhstan engineering has 26.5 billion tenge of its debts, of which 19 billion we must repay to the bank this year. At the same time, we try to help the plant and are constantly looking for funds to provide financial assistance. In January, April, June of this year, we found funds to provide financial assistance. In early October, we also found 12 million tenge, and today we are allocating another 8 million tenge. Also, thanks to the support of the Akim of the Abay region, another 20 million tenge was allocated.
For the execution of orders for manhole covers, we need working capital, which we do not have. Together with all creditors, we are actively looking for investors who are ready to invest in the plant.
