MPs listened to the report of Almambet Shykmamatov, head of the commission to investigate the causes of the plane crash in Dachi SU, on Thursday.

The head of the commission said that the total amount allocated from the special account of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, received from citizens, was 102,152,680 soms.

«At that time, for some reason, the amount of compensation was not disclosed. The Turkish company paid compensation in the amount of $4.5 million. Law firms and ordinary citizens transferred 102,152,680 soms to the special account. There is no need to list everything what this money was spent on, but I want to say that they were spent on rebuilding houses, payment of compensations to the families of the dead and injured, and so on. Someone wanted to erect a monument to the dead, took land for this purpose. We also had to pay for this. Each tyiyn was distributed by the commission. Someone, for example, could say that he received little, because his expensive house was destroyed. The amount of compensations to the victims approximately reached $150,000-200,000. Approximately $30,000 were paid to those whose houses were damaged during the plane crash,» Almambet Shykmamatov told.
