Integrity of the state apparatus 06.02.2026
On February 5 of this year, a working meeting was held with the participation of the Head of the Department of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Civil Service Affairs in the Kostanay Region, Y.A. Salykbayev, the Head of the Apparatus of the Akim of the Kostanay Region, M.M. Sandybayev, as well as heads and specialists of regional departments.In his speech, Y.A. Salykbayev highlighted the priorities announced by the Head of State at the National Kurultai in the city of Kyzylorda. The demand for integrity among officials remains a relevant nationwide task. This is a direct and unambiguous guideline for the entire civil service system — from top managers to every executor.The number of negative publications about the civil service in the media and social networks has noticeably increased, with criticism increasingly directed not only at rank-and-file employees but also at top managers. This is an alarming signal because society evaluates the state based on the behavior and decisions of specific officials.The speaker outlined the key risks that most often lead to scandals, disciplinary consequences, and reputational losses: declarations and financial control, conflict of interest, anti-corruption restrictions, family subordination, foreign accounts, gambling, and betting. The task is to build a system where violations are difficult to commit, and conscientious behavior is the norm.Y.A. Salykbayev also informed about upcoming changes for civil servants within the framework of the Concept for the Development of the Civil Service for 2024–2029.These include the digitalization of personnel processes and financial control. The law establishes two types of declarations and the publicity of declarations for certain categories of officials.It is important to comply with anti-corruption restrictions, including joint service (work) of close relatives, spouses, and in-laws if a subordinate relationship arises between them, as well as restrictions related to holding funds and valuables outside the Republic of Kazakhstan.M.M. Sandybayev drew the participants' attention to the call of the Head of State to all authorized state bodies — to review and synchronize their work in accordance with the ideological platform.In the context of societal transformation, the presence of effective feedback channels, including media and social media accounts, is important. The skill of managers lies in establishing communication with civil society and the media.The Ethics Commissioner, K.Zh. Syundikov, using practical case studies, informed about examples of non-compliance with ethical standards and the responsibility of civil servants.A separate issue raised at the meeting was the responsibility of employees for non-compliance with restrictions related to the ban on participation in gambling and/or betting, including through the use of telecommunications networks and the Internet to participate in bets and wagers.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1156361?lang=kk
The next meeting of the commission: every norm must be clear and understandable 06.02.2026
The eighth meeting of the Commission on Constitutional Reform was held in Astana, during which Deputy Prosecutor General of the Republic of Kazakhstan Zhandos Omiraliev proposed clarifying the understanding of Article 18 of the draft new Constitution in the Russian language. He particularly emphasized that every norm of the Constitution must be clear and understandable, and that the commission is doing tremendous work.State Advisor Erlan Karin focused on the fact that the text of the new Constitution is not a translation.–The draft of the new Constitution in the state language is not a translation. The draft currently in your hands is a document initially written with the interests of the state language in mind. In case of ambiguous questions, the version in the Kazakh language is primarily taken into account, – he said.The State Advisor also reported that outdated and words whose meaning has changed have been revised in the draft new Constitution.Rector of Karaganda University named after E. Buketov, Nurlan Dulatbekov, presented a proposal that the principles of access to higher education should be clearly outlined in the new Constitution. At the same time, he explained why it is necessary to separate educational institutions from religious ideology and what fundamental significance this has for the education system.– Universities and schools must remain spaces of science, knowledge, and, of course, academic freedom. This approach protects students, preserves a neutral educational environment, and reduces the risk of ideological pressure, – said the scholar.At the next meeting, Majilis deputy Aydarbek Kozhanazarov came forward with an initiative to clearly enshrine in the Constitution that «the national currency of Kazakhstan is the tenge». Chairman of the Board of M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University JSC, member of the Constitutional Commission Talgat Narikbayev focused on the commission's work to improve the text of the Basic Law in the Kazakh language.Chairman of the Constitutional Commission Elvira Azimova instructed to inform the public about the fate of proposals received from citizens regarding the new version of the Basic Law through a summary table.It is recalled that regional head Nurlibek Nalibayev, as a member of the Constitutional Commission, participates in the commission's meetings and discussions in separate working sections.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kyzylorda/press/news/details/1156329?lang=kk
