As part of the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State, explanatory work is constantly underway to increase the legal literacy of the population. This is reported by the official website of the capital's akimat with reference to the press service of the Ministry of Justice.For example, in 2024, the campaigns "People's Lawyer", "Justice Advises", "Open Door Day", "Days of Free Legal Aid" were launched. Last year, 1,310 consultative and explanatory events were held in all regions of the republic, covering a total of more than 100,000 people.In order to increase the legal literacy of residents of rural settlements, about 2,000 "Law Offices" were opened, which operate in the buildings of district and rural clubs, recreation centers, etc. on the basis of "Egov" corners. The offices are fully equipped with access to the "Adilet" ADL, the "Zan" DB for familiarization with current regulatory legal acts, as well as access to information systems (e-otinish, the "Open NKA" portal, etc.)."Every digital reform is a step towards more accessible justice, especially for people in remote regions where access to legal aid is limited," said the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.The unified information system of legal aid "E-ZanKomegi" has been launched through the website Эup.kz. for providing and receiving legal services online, and the "Zan Komegi" mobile application is also available, where citizens can get answers to legal questions of interest via video call. More than 472 thousand citizens received qualified legal assistance through more than 2,000 lawyers and legal advisors in the “Zan Komegi” system.In addition, the unified notarial information system “E-notariat” operates, which allows issuing all types of powers of attorney and marital agreements, except for powers of attorney related to property management, online via video call. This service was used by 176 thousand citizens.In addition, in order to prevent illegal actions, biometric identification of clients is used, a QR-signature service is used when signing applications, and the results of the service are available 24/7 in the EgovMobile “Digital Documents” service. Thus, through this service, citizens of Kazakhstan were able to legally formalize about 168 thousand powers of attorney and 67.5 thousand marital agreements without visiting a notary.Another important achievement is the introduction of the “Board of Justice Robot”. For example, in the event of non-payment of administrative fines up to 20 MCI, the authorized body transfers the data to the Robot bailiff, which initiates the proceedings without the participation of a private bailiff. After the case is initiated, citizens will receive an SMS message and a push notification on EGov Mobile from 1414 with detailed information about the case, thereby exempting citizens from paying an additional 25% of the fine and visiting the bailiff, since all actions are carried out online.Since the launch of the digital bailiff, more than 109 thousand enforcement cases have been initiated for the amount of 2.2 billion tenge. The amount saved in favor of citizens is 550 million tenge. tenge.In 2025, it is planned to improve the work of justice bodies in order to make people's lives easier and more convenient in the digital era, as well as save time and money.Main changes:In 2025, it is planned to train more than 300 thousand citizens in legal literacy;ZI - "Aiteke" assistant - a chat bot designed to provide simple legal advice and help collect documents.The competence of the robot bailiff will expand, and the limit on the amount of debt it can handle will increase from 20 to 40 MCI, which will allow citizens to save up to 12.2 billion tenge per year.These tools are distinguished by their simplicity, speed and accessibility, allowing them to be used at any time of the day.The measures taken will increase the legal literacy of citizens and help them become more aware of their rights and obligations. As a result of the work on simplifying service provision, Kazakhstanis will save time and money, increase the accessibility and convenience of obtaining these services, and eliminate administrative barriers, making the process more transparent and efficient.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/936288

From March 24, 2025, changes to the rules for registering subscriber mobile devices will come into force. The new rules apply only to new devices imported into the country after 03/24/2025. Phones that already exist in the territory of Kazakhstan and are included in the Identification Codes Database (ICD) will automatically be included in the "white list" and will continue to operate without any restrictions.These innovations are aimed at further improving the registration system, combating fraud, protecting consumer rights, and increasing the security of using mobile devices.Today, about 3.7 million devices with duplicate IMEI codes are registered in Kazakhstan. Their illegal import poses a significant economic and social problem. Such a mobile device market makes it difficult to control the legal circulation of devices, contributes to the increase in phone theft and creates unfair competition.In order to solve these problems, new rules have been introduced to ensure an open and secure mobile device market.The main innovation is the verification procedure for mobile devicesDuring registration in accordance with the new rules, a special system checks the following parameters:The authenticity of the device's IMEI codeThe absence of the IMEI code in the GSMA international database of stolen, blocked or lost devicesThe device was legally imported into the territory of KazakhstanNote: The changes apply only to devices newly imported into the territory of Kazakhstan. Existing mobile phones that are already included in the ICD database will automatically be included in the “white list” and will continue to work without any restrictions.What lists will appear?As a result of verification, mobile devices are divided into three categories:White list - devices that have successfully passed verification, they will be registered without any restrictions.Gray list - temporarily allowed devices. Their owners must confirm that the device was imported legally within 30 days.Black list - illegally imported, counterfeit or stolen devices. They will be blocked.How will this affect users?Phones that are already in use in Kazakhstan will continue to work without any restrictions. No additional action is required.Buyers of new devices after March 24, 2025 can check the IMEI code on the imei.rfs.gov.kz website before purchasing a device. The site is currently being updated in accordance with the new rules.Owners of devices on the “gray list” can use the device for 30 days. During this time, operators will notify about the need to verify the device via SMS. The message will provide a link to a special questionnaire that must be filled out.Owners of devices imported from abroad must indicate the date of crossing the border.If the user does not pass verification within 30 days, they can complete the verification process at any time by filling out the questionnaire using the link in the message.These measures will give consumers confidence in purchasing legal and high-quality devices. Open conditions for fair competition will be created for business, and the state will strictly control imports, reduce the number of illegal phones, and reduce the level of fraud.When will they come into force?The new rules will come into force 60 days after the date of official publication - on March 24, 2025.Citizens have no reason to worry - owners of officially registered devices do not need to take any additional action. The Ministry will continue information work on the introduction of the new rules.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mdai/press/news/details/936455

The parties agreed to take coordinated measures to achieve the goal set by the heads of state to bring trade turnover to 2 billion dollars.The need to intensify mutually beneficial cooperation in the agricultural sector was noted, the share of which makes up more than 40% of the total trade turnover of the two countries. Kazakhstan is ready to mutually beneficially increase exports of traditional products - wheat, flour and confectionery. It was also noted that the creation of joint ventures for the processing of fruit and vegetable products for further export to third countries is also a promising direction."Tajikistan is a strategic partner in Central Asia for our country and a truly reliable ally. The Treaty on Allied Relations, signed at a high level last year, is undoubtedly a historic step,” said M. Nutrleu.In turn, the Tajik minister noted that such a high level of mutual relations between the countries was achieved thanks to the trusting and friendly dialogue between the heads of state. “We highly value relations with Kazakhstan and attach great importance to the trade and economic track, which needs to be filled with practical content,” said S.

Today, the regulatory framework for construction quality in Kazakhstan is the Construction Norms and Rules (KNR) and GOST. Previously, prices and commercial offers for construction projects for material resources and engineering equipment were partially set, and their prices did not always correspond to the market. This has repeatedly led to an increase in the cost of construction. In order to avoid this problem, as well as to save budget funds and minimize the use of price lists financed by state investments, quasi-public sector entities and public-private partnership (concession), when making design decisions (when forming the characteristics of equipment, products and materials) for the construction of facilities envisaged, it is necessary to use the nomenclature of material resources and engineering equipment "List of building structures, products and building materials" in accordance with the Architectural, Urban Planning and Construction Catalog (AGSK-3). For example, in July 2022, the normative technical document of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 1.02.03-2022 "Procedure for the development, coordination and approval of design and estimate documentation for construction" came into force, which provides for the inclusion of price lists in the GSC, which provides for the prevention of increasing the estimated prices of construction materials through price lists. The norm for the exclusion of use is indicated. It should be noted that AGSK-3 recommends adding a reference book, providing the necessary material resources, equipment, furniture and accessories that are not in the estimate-normative base, and relevant price and technical information (catalogs with detailed technical specifications, certificates of conformity, certificates of origin of goods (ST KZ), test reports).It is important to know that the estimated cost of resources is determined by a set of estimated prices. If the collections do not contain an estimated cost of the required item, then its cost should be determined at the lowest price, based on the estimated prices of such resources in accordance with the approved decisions of the Customer, that is, using information on the prices of resources, taking into account the technical parameters and characteristics adopted in the project. If the price of individual resources and equipment according to price lists or commercial offers is lower than in the reference, the Customer has the right to make a decision to revise the prices of materials included in the reference, recalculating the estimated cost of construction in the process of conducting a comprehensive external examination in order to effectively use financial resources. Recalculation of the estimated cost is carried out by the design organization that developed the project on the instructions of the Customer. The requirements of paragraph 5.13 of the RK Construction Code are established only for material resources and engineering equipment. Today, the use of price lists and commercial offers is applicable only to technological equipment. It is worth noting that the use of AGSK-3 when developing estimate documentation is one of the stages of introducing an automated method of checking estimate documentation. As part of the digitalization of the construction industry, work is underway to combine all local estimates into a single digital estimate with automatic verification during project appraisal. The implementation of this initiative is planned for 2025.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/936150

The Ministry of Emergency Situations of Kazakhstan is conducting fire prevention work on an ongoing basis. This work is carried out throughout the year, and during the heating season, the vector of this work is directed to the housing sector. More than 100 thousand houses of socially vulnerable groups of the population, which are inspected for fire safety before the start of the heating season and are re-examined during regular yard inspections, are under special control. The identified non-compliance with fire safety requirements is necessarily communicated to the population. The main violations identified during the inspection are violations of the rules for the installation and operation of furnace equipment and electrical networks and devices: cracks in furnaces and chimneys, lack of a metal layer in front of the furnace, lack of fire barriers from combustible structures, overloading of electrical networks, damage to the insulation of electrical wires, etc. Eliminating these violations often does not require large expenditures. In cooperation with local executive bodies and volunteers, more than 32 thousand odorous gas, natural gas and smoke detectors have been installed in the homes of socially vulnerable groups of the population (since June 2024). Despite the measures taken everywhere, 760 fires were registered in the country in January, 580 of which were due to violations of requirements during the installation and operation of stoves and electrical systems. The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds that everyone can make their home safer! To do this, you need to follow simple safety rules:- use only working stoves and electrical appliances;- prevent stoves from overheating and overloading electrical networks;- clean the chimney from soot in a timely manner;- regularly check the stove and electrical appliances for malfunctions;- do not let children light the stove;- keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children.

The annual winter census was attended by representatives of the Zhetysu Regional Forestry and Wildlife Territorial Inspectorate, the Okhotzooprom State Enterprise, the Institute of Zoology, and the Association for the Conservation of Biodiversity in Kazakhstan. The work was carried out on a clear, windless day by seven teams of twenty enumerators.As a result of two days of work, it was determined that about 5.5 thousand gazelles and about 190 argali live in the territory of the national park. And the number of kulans in Altyn-Emel amounted to 3.6 heads. It should be noted that this is the largest kulan population in Kazakhstan. The steady growth of the number of ungulates allows the animals to be reintroduced to other historical habitats.For example, last year, 87 animals were released to the "Altyn Dala", "Ile-Balkhash" reserves and the "Sozak" forest reserve.Let us recall that the main goal of the event is to inventory the population of argali, kulan and gazelle, which are included in the Red Book of our country.Source: Official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan A wild animal census was held in the Altyn-Emel National ParkSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/zhetysu-oblysy/press/news/details/936184

Every citizen must be legally accountable for his words and actions,” - President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.As part of the implementation of the instructions of the Head of State, the Ministry of Justice is constantly carrying out explanatory work to increase the legal literacy of the population.For example, in 2024, the campaigns “People's Lawyer”, “Justice Advises”, “Open Day”, “Days of Free Legal Aid” were launched. Last year, 1,310 consultative and explanatory events were held in all regions of the republic, covering a total of more than 100,000 people.In order to increase the legal literacy of residents of rural settlements, about 2,000 “Law Offices” were opened, which operate in the buildings of district and rural clubs, recreation centers, etc. on the basis of “Egov” corners. The offices are fully equipped with access to the "Adilet" ADL, "Zan" DB for familiarization with current regulatory legal acts, as well as access to information systems (e-otinish, "Open NKA" portal, etc.)."Each digital reform is a step towards more accessible justice, especially for people in remote regions where access to legal aid is limited.", - President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.A unified information system for legal aid "E-ZanKomegi" has been launched through the website Эup.kz., designed to provide and receive legal services online, and the "Zan Komegi" mobile application is also available, through which citizens can get answers to legal questions of interest to them via video call. More than 472 thousand citizens received qualified legal assistance through more than 2,000 lawyers and legal advisors in the “Zan Komegi” system.In addition, the unified notarial information system “E-notariat” operates, which allows issuing all types of powers of attorney and marital agreements, except for powers of attorney related to property management, online via video call. This service was used by 176 thousand citizens.In addition, in order to prevent illegal actions, biometric identification of clients is used, a QR-signature service is used when signing applications, and the results of the service are available 24/7 in the EgovMobile “Digital Documents” service. Thus, through this service, citizens of Kazakhstan were able to legally formalize about 168 thousand powers of attorney and 67.5 thousand marital agreements without visiting a notary.Another important achievement is the introduction of the “Board of Justice Robot”. For example, in the event of untimely payment of administrative fines up to 20 MCI, the authorized body transfers the information to the Robot bailiff, which initiates the proceedings without the participation of a private bailiff. After the case is initiated, citizens will receive an SMS message and a push notification from 1414 on EGov Mobile with detailed information about the case, thereby exempting citizens from paying an additional 25% of the fine and visiting the bailiff, since all actions are carried out online.Since the launch of the digital bailiff, more than 109 thousand enforcement cases have been initiated for the amount of 2.2 billion tenge. The amount saved in favor of citizens amounted to 550 million tenge.In 2025, it is planned to improve the work of justice bodies in order to make people's lives easier and more convenient in the digital era, as well as save time and money. Key changes:In 2025, it is planned to train more than 300 thousand citizens in legal literacy;JI - "Aiteke" assistant - a chat bot designed to provide simple legal advice and help collect documents.The competence of the robot bailiff will be expanded, and the limit on the amount of debt it can handle will increase from 20 to 40 AEC, which will allow citizens to save up to 12.2 billion tenge per year.These tools are distinguished by their simplicity, speed and accessibility, allowing them to be used at any time of the day.The measures taken will increase the legal literacy of citizens and help them better understand their rights and obligations. As a result of work on simplifying the provision of services, Kazakhstanis will save time and money, increase the accessibility and convenience of receiving these services, and eliminate administrative barriers, making the process more transparent and efficient.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/936202
