The head of the Committee for Architecture and Construction under the Government of Tajikistan, Nizom Mirzozoda, announced at a press conference on February 8 that, by order of Rustam Emomali, a working commission has been formed at the mayor’s office of Dushanbe to check the activities of the company “Komil-2010,” owned by the president’s son-in-law Bega Sabur. According to Mirzozoda, the state service for supervision in the field of construction and architecture discovered deficiencies in the projects built by this company during the inspection.

“Due to the fact that money has already been spent on the construction of these facilities, we will strengthen the buildings, bring them in line with current requirements, and put them into operation,” Mirzozoda stated.

According to Mirzozoda, the company “Komil-2010” still does not have permission to construct new buildings in the capital.

After a wave of criticism and dissatisfaction with the quality of the projects from the companies “Komil-2010” and “Niagara” by the mayor of Dushanbe Rustam Emomali and the residents of the capital, these companies owned by Bega Sabur ended up on a “black list,” and they are not allowed to build multi-story buildings in the capital.

Earlier, on February 5, 2021, the then head of the Committee for Architecture and Construction, Mahmadsaid Zuvaydzoda, reported at a press conference that many deficiencies had been identified in Bega Sabur’s projects, but it was not possible to revoke the construction license from the company, as it would harm the people who bought apartments. According to him, the company must correct the deficiencies and shortcomings.

Despite the low quality of the buildings constructed by Bega Sabur’s construction companies and numerous complaints from residents, some still buy apartments in these buildings due to the low prices.

In the past, due to criticism of the management of the company “Komil-2010,” the then mayor of the city of Kulob, Bakhram Inoyatzoda, was detained and sentenced to 12 years in prison.

According to Tajikistan’s legislation, a public official is not allowed to engage in entrepreneurial activities. However, residents of Dushanbe report that Bega Sabur has turned his office in the Communications Service under the Government of Tajikistan into a real estate sales center. Buyers can meet with him for negotiations in his office and purchase an apartment directly from him.
