The land amnesty in Kyrgyzstan continues, urging citizens to formalize the land plots they have been using for years. However, the process has been challenging, especially for owners of dacha plots who are facing difficulties in obtaining the necessary documents.
Despite positive reports from officials, stating that the land amnesty process in residential areas has been successfully completed, dacha cooperatives are now facing hurdles. The lack of a clear legal framework has resulted in many dacha owners being denied the necessary paperwork.
Olga Ivashchenko, the chair of the Society of Gardeners and Horticulturists, highlights the discrepancies in the legislation, pointing out that the initial two-year deadline for dacha owners was later removed, making the process indefinite. However, the issue of obtaining land deeds remains unresolved.
While some dacha owners have managed to register their land, many others have been left in limbo. Despite having all the required documentation, they are still being denied land deeds, showcasing the lack of consistency in the registration process.
The complex procedure for dacha owners involves holding a general meeting within the cooperative to decide on issuing land deeds, which then needs approval from the local authorities. Despite having all the necessary paperwork, some dacha owners are still being rejected, with no uniform approach to the issue.
In essence, while dacha owners have been granted the right to legalize their plots, the practical implementation of this process remains a significant challenge, leaving many in a state of uncertainty and frustration.
