October 25 is the Republic Day of Kazakhstan, a national holiday of particular importance in the history of our country. This date is associated with a significant historical event: the adoption of the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic on October 25, 1990.The Declaration on State Sovereignty was a landmark document that laid the foundations for the establishment of Kazakhstan as an independent state. Its adoption contributed to strengthening the country's political and legal autonomy, developing national statehood, and paving the way for Kazakhstan's future independence.The Declaration reflected fundamental principles, including territorial integrity, citizenship, the independence of state authority, the right to own natural resources, and the determination of Kazakhstan's place in international relations. The document expressed the people's aspiration to determine their own destiny and established the legal foundations for future independence.On December 16, 1991, the state independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan was proclaimed. Thus, the principles enshrined in the Declaration on State Sovereignty played a significant role in the country's development as an independent state.In 2022, Republic Day was reinstated as a national holiday. This decision reaffirmed the special place of October 25 in the country's history and highlighted the importance of statehood, national identity, and historical heritage.Today, Kazakhstan continues to develop as an independent state, pursuing efforts to strengthen its economy, improve the well-being of its citizens, and enhance public administration. Effective government institutions, respect for the rule of law, and stronger trust between society and the state play an important role in achieving these objectives.The Department of State Revenue of the Atyrau Region contributes to the country's socio-economic development by ensuring the timely and full collection of budget revenues, improving tax and customs administration, and enhancing the accessibility and quality of public services.Republic Day is an opportunity to reflect on the country's historical journey, recognize its achievements, and reaffirm our responsibility for its future.

On October 15, 2026, a residents' meeting was held at the building of the State Institution "Office of the Akim of the Ust-Kamenogorsk Rural District," where the topic "Prevention of online fraud and other unlawful acts committed using information technologies, within the framework of the preventive campaign 'Safe Home'" was discussed.The rapid development of information technologies has significantly simplified citizens' everyday lives. Today, most government services, banking operations, purchases, and payments are carried out electronically. At the same time, the number of crimes committed using the Internet is growing. That is why ensuring digital security is one of the important directions in strengthening the principle of "Law and Order."According to the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the rights and legitimate interests of citizens are under state protection. Law enforcement agencies constantly carry out work to prevent and solve crimes committed using information technologies. However, security largely also depends on the attentiveness of citizens themselves.Fraudsters use various methods of deception. They pose as employees of banks, government agencies, or law enforcement services, persuading citizens to disclose bank card details, SMS confirmation codes, or personal data. Fake online stores and social media pages are often created, offering goods at reduced prices with a requirement of full prepayment.To avoid becoming a victim of fraudsters, it is necessary to follow basic rules of digital security. Never disclose bank card numbers, CVV codes, SMS confirmation codes, or mobile banking passwords to third parties. Do not click on suspicious links, do not enter personal data on unknown websites, and do not install programs from unverified sources. It is recommended to make purchases only through official and reliable online platforms.Upon receiving a suspicious call or message, you must immediately end the conversation and independently verify the information through the official channels of the relevant organization. If there are signs of fraud, you should immediately contact law enforcement agencies.The Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the Prevention of Offenses" pays special attention to the prevention of unlawful acts. Prevention of online fraud is an integral part of this work. Increasing the legal literacy of the population, developing digital culture, and informing citizens about modern fraud schemes help reduce the number of such crimes.Compliance with the principles of law and order begins with the personal responsibility of each individual. By being vigilant and following the rules of digital security, citizens protect their personal data and property and contribute to strengthening public safety.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ulan-oskemen/press/news/details/1313632?lang=ru

В Астане прошла сельскохозяйственная ярмарка, на которой товаропроизводители Павлодарской, Северо-Казахстанской и Улытауской областей представили более 1 600 тонн продовольственной продукции. Фермеры предложили жителям столицы мясо, молочную продукцию, овощи, рыбу, мёд и другие товары напрямую.Ярмарка проходила 17 и 18 октября на ипподроме «Казанат» (улица Каркаралы, 1) с 09:00 до 18:00.На торговых площадках были представлены мясо и мясопродукты, молочная продукция, овощи, яйца, рыба, мёд, бакалейные товары и другие продукты питания.Производители Павлодарской области доставили на ярмарку 110 тонн мяса и мясопродуктов, 440 тонн овощей, 17 тонн молочной продукции, 24 тонны бакалейных товаров, 14 тонн рыбы, 10 тонн мёда и 100 тысяч куриных яиц.Из Северо-Казахстанской области было представлено более 1 000 тонн продукции, в том числе 110 тонн мяса и мясопродуктов, более 400 тонн овощей, более 180 тонн молочной продукции, более 80 тонн бакалейных товаров, 5 тонн рыбы, 10 тонн мёда и 240 тысяч куриных яиц.Фермеры Улытауской области привезли 60 тонн мяса и мясопродуктов, а также 20 тонн молочной продукции.«Для нас очень важно предлагать продукцию напрямую покупателю. Люди, пришедшие на ярмарку, могут спросить цену, увидеть качество и купить товар в необходимом количестве. Поскольку здесь собрались производители из нескольких регионов, выбор у жителей расширяется. Особенно высок спрос на ежедневно потребляемые мясо, молочные продукты и овощи. Через такие торговые площадки мы можем познакомить с нашей продукцией больше людей и установить связи с постоянными потребителями», — сказал продавец из Северо-Казахстанской области Айдос Сарсенбаев.Для жителей столицы одним из главных преимуществ ярмарки стала возможность приобрести различные продукты питания в одном месте и сравнить цены.

Поэтому для нас важно покупать качественную продукцию по доступной цене. Поскольку на ярмарке представлены товары от производителей из разных регионов, можно сразу выбрать несколько видов продукции. Кроме того, есть возможность узнать, откуда доставлен товар, спросив у самого производителя. Если бы такие ярмарки организовывались регулярно, это было бы выгодно как для горожан, так и для приехавших продавать свою продукцию фермеров», — отметила она.В течение двух дней жители и гости столицы могли приобрести сельскохозяйственную продукцию из трёх регионов страны непосредственно у товаропроизводителей.https://www.instagram.com/p/DeodrH4gKqa/https://www.instagram.com/p/DemWnjOArvP/Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana-uir/press/news/details/1313559?lang=ru

Having debts to banks, microfinance organizations (MFOs), or other creditors does not automatically mean that a citizen can declare bankruptcy.Bankruptcy legislation establishes clear requirements, and before submitting an application, it is necessary to check whether the relevant criteria are met.The State Revenue Department for Almaty explains that bankruptcy is not the only way to resolve debt problems. For citizens who have a stable income and are able to repay their debts gradually, a solvency restoration procedure is available.The legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for three procedures:out-of-court bankruptcy;judicial bankruptcy;restoration of solvency.Out-of-Court BankruptcyThis procedure applies to debts owed to banks, microfinance organizations, and collection agencies.Requirements for the out-of-court bankruptcy procedure:the total amount of debt must not exceed 1,600 MCI;there must be no registered property, including property held in joint ownership;the debt must have remained unpaid for 12 consecutive months;a debt settlement procedure with the creditor must have been completed;no bankruptcy procedure must have been applied to the citizen during the previous 7 years.How to submit an application:An application may be submitted through the eGov.kz portal, the eGov Mobile application, or at Public Service Centers (PSCs).Judicial BankruptcyThis procedure is carried out exclusively through the court and applies in cases provided for by law, including where the amount of debt exceeds 1,600 MCI.Key features of judicial bankruptcy:unlike out-of-court bankruptcy, this procedure covers debts not only to banks and MFOs, but also to other creditors, such as tax debts;the procedure may involve the sale of the debtor’s property to cover outstanding obligations;expenses related to the payment of the state fee and the services of a financial manager are предусмотрены.Restoration of SolvencyThis procedure is intended for citizens who have a stable income and are able to repay their debts gradually.Key advantages:the main advantage is that the citizen does not acquire bankrupt status;the court may approve an individual debt repayment plan for a period of up to 5 years, under which the citizen settles their debts.Consequences and Restrictions After BankruptcyAfter a citizen is declared bankrupt, the current legislation provides for the following restrictions:new bank loans and microloans cannot be obtained for 5 years;bankruptcy procedures may be used again only after 7 years;the citizen’s financial condition is monitored by the state for 3 years.The most important thing is to realistically assess your income and choose the appropriate procedure.This will help resolve debts legally and avoid unnecessary financial problems in the future.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-almaty/press/news/details/1313498?lang=ru
