Protests planned as price at Kazakh pumps hiked
Kazakhstan KMG’s August decision to increase petrol prices by 10 percent-15 percent triggered small protests in Astana, Almaty and the Caspian Region.
Activists urge the cost of petrol to be reduced to between $0.57 and $0.63 per litre. Edward Edekova, the head of the Independent Automobile Union of Kazakhstan, said that demonstrations will not force the government to reconsider its decision.
