In the traditional Address of the Head of State, a number of issues were raised and additional tasks were given. I would like to focus on two of them. "Currently, there are 21 codes and more than 300 laws in our country. Too many amendments have been made to them. Some norms contradict each other. Ultimately, all this hinders the development of business. It is necessary to check and study all the legislation. Artificial intelligence technology will allow this to be implemented quickly and effectively," said K. Tokayev in his Address today. There are more than two million small businesses in our country, but only about six percent of them produce products. It is no secret that this is an insignificant indicator. Therefore, "A Center for Regulation through Intelligence will be created under the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms. This center will be engaged in streamlining legislation, developing clear and effective proposals. It is necessary not to complicate the law. Instead, it is necessary to adapt it to the needs of entrepreneurs and strengthen the personal responsibility of ministers and akims for concrete results. I have also received information that state bodies, instead of warning business representatives, still make too strict administrative decisions. Such a tragedy cannot be allowed," said the Head of State. Zaure Oralbayeva, social activist, journalist

Deputies - members of the standing committees of the Kurchatov city maslikhat,2. Representatives of local executive bodies,3. Members of the public council of the city of Kurchatov,4. Heads of organizations and enterprises of the city of Kurchatov,5. Residents of Stepnaya, Pobedy streets.Presiding officer: deputy of the Kurchatov city maslikhat, chairman of the standing committee on budget, economic reforms and regional development Vityuk V.A.Vityuk V.A. – Chairman of the CommissionToday, public hearings are being held on the issue of renaming the following streets in the city of Kurchatov:1) Stepnaya Street to Bulak Street;2) Pobedy Street to Zhenis Street.Public hearings are being held in accordance with paragraph 5 of Chapter 2 of the Rules for taking into account the opinions of the population of the relevant territory when naming, renaming administrative-territorial units, constituent parts of settlements, as well as clarifying and changing the transcription of their names, approved by Order of the Minister of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated August 1, 2023 No. 211.The public hearings are declared open.It is necessary to approve the work regulations for the work.The following regulations are proposed:Speaker up to 5 minutesFor speeches in the debate up to 2-3 minutesHold the hearings without a break.What objections, additions, changes will there be? No. I put it to a vote. Who is for the proposed regulations? Against? Abstained? No. The proposed regulations were adopted unanimously.We proceed to consider the agenda item:The floor is given to the head of the department of culture, language development, physical education and sports of the city of Kurchatov, Abay region, Suleimenova Altynai AmangeldyevnaWHO WAS HEARD:Suleimenova A.A., head of the department of culture, language development, physical education and sports of the city of Kurchatov, Abay regionCurrently, onomastics, as one of the leading areas of state policy, is acquiring not only scientific, practical and cultural-historical, but also important socio-political significance.With the acquisition of Independence, issues of onomastics in the Republic of Kazakhstan have acquired special significance. The names of cities, countries, capitals, regions, districts, reservoirs and other objects carry multifaceted information, including information about the history, language and geography of the state.Work in the field of onomastics is of great national importance, which was once again confirmed in the speech of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev at the IV meeting of the National Kurultai.One of the important decisions of the National Kurultai was the centralization of onomastic work within the framework of the Republican Onomastic Commission, whose tasks will be the revival of original names, the approval of new ones - while preserving and increasing the spiritual heritage that toponyms carry. The issues of renaming settlements, streets and other objects give rise to history and patriotism.In order to streamline onomastic names and modernize historical names, the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan instructed akimats of all levels to replace outdated, duplicate and ideologically irrelevant names of streets and other objects.Kazakhstan has been an independent state with its own unique history and traditions for more than 30 years. Therefore, renaming streets whose names have lost their semantic meaning is a necessary step. The younger generation should be brought up in the spirit of patriotism and respect for national history.There are 18 streets and 1 square in the city of Kurchatov. According to the approved and agreed upon Roadmap by the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Presidential Administration in 2024, two streets are included in the Roadmap for renaming administrative-territorial units for 2024. In the city of Kurchatov, it is necessary to rename 2 streets in 2025: Pobeda and Stepnaya.The country has a step-by-step procedure for renaming streets, approved by law. Today's public hearings are one of the stages of implementing this procedure.During the reporting period, the initiative group on onomastics of the city of Kurchatov carried out certain work, explanatory work was organized among residents living on these streets.Pobeda Street is located in the eastern part of the city. There are three residential buildings and a monument to the Liberator of Victory, erected in 1985 in honor of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War. We suggest the name - Zhenis Street. This name does not change the meaning and translation of the word Victory. This traditional and historical name symbolizes the heroism and feat of the people, perpetuates the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland and plays an important role in patriotic education.Stepnaya Street is located in the south-eastern part of the city, there are 16 residential buildings on it. The proposed new name is Bulak Street. This word has a deep symbolic meaning for the Kazakh people, personifying purity, life and connection with nature. Such a name emphasizes spiritual and cultural values ​​and will become a significant reminder for future generations.Thus, the proposed new names are neutral, traditional and will remain relevant for many years.The question arises about possible financial costs when renaming streets. I would like to emphasize: no expenses will be required for city residents. No replacement of title documents for real estate is required. The appropriate changes will be made to the Unified State Address Register, and when applying to the Public Service Center, certificates will be issued indicating the old and new name of the street.If necessary, the Department of Construction, Architecture and Urban Development will provide supporting certificates on address clarification free of charge. Legal entities may incur expenses only in the event of a change in the seal or license: seal replacement - 6,000 tenge, license adjustment - 9,000 tenge (there are no legal entities or enterprises on the above-mentioned streets). There will be no financial costs for individuals.Vityuk V.A., chairman of the joint meetingAny questions for Altynai Amangeldyevna? No questions.Vityuk V.A., chairman of the joint meetingAnyone else wishing to speak?Bogatyreva N., resident of Pobeda streetAs a resident of Pobeda street, I support the decision to rename Pobeda street to Zhenis. This name does not change the meaning and is simply a translation of the word "Victory" into the state language and will retain its historical value. Tribute to the state language will also be paid.Vityuk V.A., chairman of the joint meetingAnyone else wishing to speak? No?RESULTSof public hearings on the issue ofrenaming streets in the city of Kurchatovat a joint meeting of the standing committees of the Kurchatov city maslikhatPublic hearings on renaming streets were held on September 15 of this year in the meeting room of the akimat.On the issue of renaming streets, the results were as follows.Pobeda Street to Zhenis Street:"For" - 35"Against" - 0"Abstained" - 0Stepnaya Street to Bulak Street:"For" - 35"Against" - 0"Abstained" - 0Based on the results of the public hearings, the standing committees of the Kurchatov city maslikhat DECIDED:1.
