This visit was not just a meeting, but a deep and meaningful dialogue about civic duty, the power of law, and personal responsibility.It should be noted that the conscript soldiers of military unit 5573 guard the peace and security of the capital every day. These are young citizens who have chosen the path of serving their Motherland through discipline and dedication.Maiya Tolegenovna personally familiarized herself with their daily life, schedule, as well as physical and moral training. Demonstrations included:▪️ elements of daily service;▪️ special equipment and gear;▪️ the work of canine handlers with service dogs;▪️ a museum exhibition reflecting the history and development of the National Guard.Each of these aspects is part of a larger system built upon order, legality, and strong civic awareness.During her conversation with the servicemen, Maiya Bekbayeva emphasized the importance of not only speaking about the law but also living by it:— “Law and order are not abstract concepts. They are a culture that begins with each of us. If we want a strong and just country, we must start with inner discipline, respect for others, and honesty in our actions. The state is not someone separate. It is us. And responsibility rests with us as well,” — she noted.A cultural program was also arranged: a collective viewing of the film “Zhoshy Khan.

В столице продолжаются разъяснительные встречи и мероприятия по обсуждению Послания Президента народу Казахстана. Так, на одной из таких встреч директор Института конституционных и политических исследований Maqsut Narikbayev University Алия Оразбаева рассказала студентам об основных задачах, обозначенных в программном документе, передает официальный сайт акимата Астаны.В обсуждении Послания Главы государства приняли участие заместитель акима Астаны Есет Байкен, заместитель ректора Maqsut Narikbayev University, доктор PHD Арман Пирзадаев, и.о. председателя правления НК «Kazakh Tourism» Даниэль Сержанов, профессорско-преподавательский состав, эксперты и студенты вуза. "Послание Президента, с которым страна ознакомилась 8 сентября, задаёт не просто стратегический курс, а фиксирует глубокие изменения в конституционном и правовом поле", - отметила Алия Оразбаева.Она обозначила основные акценты, которые напрямую будут связаны с конституционной реформой, трансформацией системы власти и развитием правовой системы."Первый ключевой акцент - новый формат Парламента. Президент поставил задачу обсудить возможность перехода к однопалатному парламенту. Сейчас функции по принятию законов распределены между двумя палатами, Мажилисом и Сенатом. Это создаёт определённый "буфер" - гражданам и экспертам сложно сразу понять, где именно возникла задержка по принятию проекта или кто несёт ответственность за конкретное решение. В однопалатной модели такого "двухуровневого фильтра" не будет. Все законопроекты обсуждаются и принимаются в одной палате, и процесс становится более понятным для общества", - пояснила директор института.В качестве примера она привели опыт таких стран, как Швеция, Дания, Эстония, которые имеют однопалатный парламент.Вторым ключевым акцентом спикер назвала финансовую самостоятельность регионов, что означает укрепление бюджетной децентрализации и перераспределение полномочий в пользу местных представительных и исполнительных органов. "В чем я вижу практическое последствие? Это то, что граждане смогут видеть, как расходуются их налоги на местах, и требовать отчётности в рамках конституционного права на обращение и участие в управлении делами государства. Это повышает не только эффективность власти, но и правовую защищённость общества", - разъяснила она.Третье, на что спикер обратила внимание студентов, - земельный кодекс и цифровой кадастр."Президент подчеркнул: "Земельные ресурсы должны распределяться открыто. Все конкурсы будут проводиться в электронном формате". Правовая ценность такой инициативы в прямом закреплении принципа гласности и равного доступа в земельных отношениях.Автоматизация процедур через цифровой кадастр исключает произвольное усмотрение должностных лиц и минимизирует коррупционные риски", - отметила Алия Оразбаева.В качестве четвертого акцента она обозначила новый Налоговый кодекс, который должен быть простым и понятным. Упрощение налоговых норм позволит снизить административное давление на предпринимателей, сделать обязательства предсказуемыми и прозрачными. Одновременно новый кодекс должен гарантировать достаточную доходную базу для местных бюджетов, чтобы регионы могли полноценно исполнять свои функции."Пятый Ключевой акцент. Президент заявил: "Прочную законодательную базу для устойчивого, прозрачного и безопасного развития отрасли должен заложить новый Строительный кодекс".Это значит, что новый Строительный кодекс введёт цифровое проектирование. Будет создана система прозрачного надзора за строительством. Во-первых, качество строительства повысится, сократятся сроки. Все процессы будут контролируемы на каждом этапе. Школы, дороги, больницы будут строиться под цифровым контролем", - перечислила глава исследовательского института.Также она выделила задачи, поставленные Президентом в части банковского законодательства и цифровых активов. По ее словам, Закон "О банках и банковской деятельности" изменят для поддержки кредитования реального сектора.  Будет принят закон о цифровых активах и цифровом тенге."Если Казахстан масштабирует цифровой тенге, как указал Президент, и создаст Государственный фонд цифровых активов, то у государства появится инструмент для целевого расходования бюджетных средств (например, стипендии, пособия, льготы). Повысится прозрачность и доверие граждан к госпрограммам, и немаловажно - привлечет инвестиции в цифровую экономику", - пояснила спикер. Упомянула она также о принципе "Закон и порядок", который Глава государства обозначил как незыблемую опору государственности. Еще одним акцентом, озвученным в Послании, спикер назвала цифровизацию и искусственный интеллект."Президент подчеркнул: новые технологии должны работать на благо общества. Преимуществ достаточно много: это и ускорение госуслуг, когда использование ИИ позволит быстрее обрабатывать документы и заявки; машинные алгоритмы исключат человеческий фактор. ИИ поможет прогнозировать социальные и экономические процессы на местах. И, конечно же, современные технологии делают страну привлекательной для бизнеса. Наш курс на цифровизацию и регулирование искусственного интеллекта соответствует лучшим мировым практикам", - отметила Алия Оразбаева в своем выступлении.В заключение она отметила, что сегодняшние студенты - будущие специалисты, которым предстоит реализовывать реформы во благо страны."Послание Президента – это дорожная карта реформ, которые меняют Конституцию, бюджетные и налоговые нормы, земельные отношения, вводят новые цифровые стандарты. Но важно понимать, что реформа – это не одноразовый акт, а постоянный процесс. Новые законы будут разрабатываться по мере появления реального общественного запроса. Их успех зависит от того, насколько ответственно будут действовать государство, общество и новые поколения специалистов. Наши студенты сегодня – это специалисты завтра, кто будет реализовывать реформы в будущем", - заключила она.  Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/1079206?lang=kk
