On June 19, the Telegram channel EGOV.PRESS published a post about complaints by employees of the Ifrakos about the incompetence of the management and the current situation in the organisation under the jurisdiction of the Aerospace Committee. The post was illustrated with a photo of the Director General of Ifrakos Saken Kasymov, taken from his page in social networks.
