During a visit to Santa Claus's residence in Ust-Kamenogorsk, the city's akim, Almat Akyshev, wrote a letter with his wishes, as reported by IA "NewTimes.kz" referencing YK-news.
In his letter to Santa Claus, the akim of Ust-Kamenogorsk requested more windy days, a low-water spring, a bountiful harvest year, and good roads for the city. For himself, the akim asked Santa for health, patience, strong nerves, and strength.
The akim chose not to drop the letter into the mailbox, believing that achieving set goals should be done without magic and relying on one's own efforts.
Recall that on December 11, Almat Akyshev, a native of VKO, became the akim of Ust-Kamenogorsk.
