In addition, the participants were reminded of the strict ban on smoking in government buildings and non-designated places, which is associated not only with health protection, but also with the image of the civil service. A separate block was devoted to issues of anti-corruption prevention: eliminating conflicts of interest, demonstrating personal intolerance to corruption and following the principle of "zero tolerance". In conclusion, the participants emphasized that conscientious work, compliance with service ethics and the law are the basis of public trust in the state.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1054184?lang=kk

Assistant captain of the tanker "Taraz" - a profession tested by the sea 20.08.2025
Among those who ensure the smooth and safe operation of maritime transport, a special place is occupied by the captain's assistant. This is a specialist who is responsible for navigation, coordinates the actions of the team, monitors compliance with international standards and ensures the well-coordinated work of the crew at each stage of the voyage. The oil tanker Taraz was put into operation in December 2023. During the first year of service, the vessel successfully transported 678 thousand tons of cargo across the Caspian Sea. This result was made possible thanks to the well-coordinated work of the team and the professionalism of each crew member. The mate is the captain's right hand and a key figure on board. He organizes navigation activities, supervises cargo operations, is responsible for the safety of the vessel and maintains the necessary documentation. In addition, he participates in the training of junior crew members and ensures compliance with maritime discipline. The job of a captain's mate requires high responsibility, excellent training and confidence in every decision. It is not just a profession, but a way of life based on precision, endurance and the ability to work in a team. In the Year of Working Professions, we pay tribute to people who choose a difficult but important path. The assistant captain of the tanker "Taraz" is a shining example of a true professional, thanks to whom the Russian fleet is developing and confidently moving forward. #YearOfWorkingProfessions

A Rare Case: Four Pairs of Twins Serve in the Same National Guard Unit 20.08.2025
In military unit 5571 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, stationed in Almaty, four pairs of twin brothers are simultaneously serving their conscription—a phenomenon that can rightfully be called unique.Twins in military service are already a rare occurrence, as even one pair drafted together is considered an exceptional coincidence. But for four pairs to end up in the same unit at once is a true phenomenon worthy of entering the history of the National Guard.The first in this extraordinary story are Nurasyl and Yerasyl Zhamalkhan, natives of Turkistan region. Yet fate did not stop there. Along with them came Yerasyl and Nurasyl Uysynbay. Thus, in one unit, there now serve two Yerasyls and two Nurasyls. Commanders admit that sometimes even they find it difficult to distinguish who is who. But the brothers themselves take it with humor—saying that their double resemblance only strengthens their team spirit. Together they go on patrol and safeguard public order on the streets of the metropolis.Yerdaulyet and Bakdaulyet Tulenov from Shymkent are another example of remarkable unity. They are mistaken for each other so often that even in the barracks, fellow soldiers joke: “We don’t have two fighters, we have one in two copies.” Once, a commander gave Yerdaulyet an assignment but took the report from Bakdaulyet without even noticing the switch. Yet in the army, this is more of an advantage: the twins insist that serving together is easier, as they understand each other without words.And finally, the last pair completing this unique quartet are Salman and Magomed Uruzbiev from Zhezkazgan. Their decision to serve together is a story of true brotherly devotion. When Magomed was drafted, his brother Salman decided to join him. Today, they serve shoulder to shoulder, carrying out military tasks and admitting they never feel alone—because by their side is always someone they can trust unconditionally.This rare story is an example of how fate brings people together in extraordinary ways. Four pairs of twins in one unit are no longer a coincidence but a real legend that will remain in the chronicles of the National Guard. And if one day, on the streets of the country’s cultural capital, you encounter a patrol with faces identical as two drops of water—do not be surprised. It may well be those very twin guardsmen who have already entered history.Press Service of the National GuardMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1054011?lang=kk
