A draft law is being developed to further improve their activities in line with international standards.Furthermore, the Commissioner recalled that the Constitution of Kazakhstan guarantees everyone freedom of conscience and religion.

Under the chairmanship of the regional prosecutor Marat Abishev, a meeting of the prosecutor's board was held, during which the results of the prosecutor's office work for the first 9 months of the current year were summarized, and tasks for the upcoming period were considered. Special attention was paid to issues of protecting citizens' rights, combating crime, and ensuring legality in the socio-economic sphere, as well as the implementation of the "Law and Order" Concept as the foundation for systematic crime prevention and strengthening law and order. The main results of supervisory, human rights, and coordinating activities were discussed. Opening the meeting, the regional prosecutor emphasized that, thanks to the measures taken, there was a reduction in registered crimes by 3.8%, particularly serious crimes by 61%, crimes of medium gravity by 8.6%, and minor crimes by 1.6%. Final procedural decisions were made on high-profile criminal cases (the murder of minors in Kopa village and in the Mal Bazar district, the theft of 6 billion tenge from the Tu-Kha company, double murder and illegal detention of Basanov, etc.); the guilty parties were convicted. The principle of inevitability of punishment was implemented. In the first 9 months of the current year, prosecutors supported the state prosecution in 973 cases, with verdicts issued in 824 cases, and 410 individuals sentenced to imprisonment. During the reporting period, 36 appellate petitions were satisfied.The project "Aktobe — Territory Without Fraud" is being implemented. An interdepartmental working group operates under the regional prosecutor's office, coordinating the following: extensive explanatory work has been carried out, more than 25,000 brochures distributed, over 1,000 publications made on social media, 1,500 meetings organized with the population, and 127 informational billboards installed. Two cases of "dropper" activity have been identified; one person has been convicted in one case, and the second case is under court consideration (both are charged under Article 190 of the Criminal Code). Under the coordination of the prosecutor's office, two underground drug laboratories were uncovered, and more than 76 kg of synthetic drugs were seized. Special prosecutors have completed investigations in two criminal cases against drug dealers, with seven individuals currently in custody. More than 1,000 "dropper" accounts totaling 59.5 million tenge and 1,400 links to drug stores have been blocked; over 300 drug advertisements (graffiti) have been destroyed; meetings were held with activists and volunteers, as well as with students from universities, colleges, and schools. To enhance the effectiveness of preventive work, the digital application "FSM Social" is being actively implemented, allowing for prompt identification and coordination of responses to reports of offenses. District prosecutors have been instructed to oversee the work of the police, akimats, and other authorized bodies.Since the beginning of the year, more than 1,000 legal violations have been identified in the area of public interest protection, the rights of over 7,000 citizens have been restored, and about 1,000 officials have been held accountable. In particular, violations of environmental and tax legislation have been identified at certain enterprises in the oil and gas sector and in the activities of subsoil users of TPI, with a preliminary amount of administrative fines and damages totaling about 8 billion tenge. The process of recovering these funds to the state budget is underway, including through judicial proceedings. To date, the misuse of budget funds amounting to more than 3 billion tenge has been prevented, and 1.2 billion tenge has been reimbursed, of which 1 billion tenge went to the state budget. In corruption and economic criminal cases initiated by the prosecutor's office, 5 individuals have been convicted, and pre-trial investigations are ongoing in 16 cases. Special attention has been paid to construction issues and the protection of citizens' rights. Thus, the court has satisfied 6 claims in the interests of 285 shared-equity holders regarding the invalidity of concluded transactions and the transfer of land plots to housing construction cooperatives. Currently, the akimat is working to complete the construction. Three claims protecting 128 defrauded citizens are under court consideration. Supervisory measures have secured the provision of 45 apartments to orphaned children. Special prosecutors have completed the investigation of an official regarding abuse of power in the provision of housing from the state housing fund.Also prioritized are issues of business protection.
