Arman Abdeshov

Arman Abdeshov is the chief architect of Shymkent, Kazakhstan, who recently made headlines following his detention by the National Security Committee (KNB) amid an investigation into allegations of misappropriation of property. His tenure in public service includes positions such as the head of the architecture and urban planning department in Zhambyl Region, where he served from August 2020 to October 2022, before moving on to the same role in Shymkent. The KNB's investigation is reportedly related to his previous work rather than his current responsibilities in Shymkent.
