Karagandy anti-corruption policy: transparency and honesty at all levels

The problem of combating corruption remains one of the most relevant topics in state policy, because only honesty and transparency can ensure stable and fair development of society. Since government bodies and citizens play an important role in this process, they should actively participate in the creation of effective anti-corruption mechanisms. The city of Karaganda, as the largest industrial and cultural center of Kazakhstan, is actively working to create such conditions aimed at reducing the risks of corruption and increasing the public's trust in the authorities.

New approaches in the fight against corruption

The anti-corruption policy of the city of Karaganda is aimed at increasing openness and transparency in the activities of state bodies. In recent years, steps have been taken, such as the introduction of electronic systems and "Public Service Centers" in public services, which allow to reduce "structural gaps" and establish direct communication between government structures and the citizens of the city. These steps make it easier for citizens to access public services and prevent corruption.

Akimat pays special attention to the fight against administrative obstacles to prevent corruption. The city authorities are implementing the "Open Government" system, which gives citizens the opportunity to receive information about the activities of state bodies, send requests and participate in public control.

Active participation of citizens in anti-corruption processes

However, fighting corruption is impossible without the active participation of civil society. The institution of public control is developing in Karaganda, and various forms of interaction with citizens are being introduced. As part of the implementation of social projects and anti-corruption initiatives, open meetings, forums and trainings are held, experts explain the working principles of state bodies and report on the mechanisms of protection of citizens' rights and prevention of corruption.

The city administration, in cooperation with various public organizations, business associations and educational institutions, conducts joint measures in the direction of fighting corruption and creating an open society. It is important to involve young people in this work, because educational programs and trainings are being introduced to make them anti-corruption awareness.

Role of public servants and control over their activities

The main role in the fight against corruption is played by public servants, their actions should be transparent and accountable to the public. In Karaganda, educational trainings on improving the qualifications of civil servants, introducing anti-corruption standards and values, as well as anti-corruption measures are regularly held. Internal and external audit systems, independent audits allow timely detection of corruption violations and their elimination.

Future without corruption: tasks for the future

Despite the achievements, the fight against corruption is a process that requires continuous improvement. In Karaganda, active work is being done in the direction of expanding the range of electronic services, improving the public control system, and increasing citizens' trust in state bodies. It is necessary to further improve the interaction between government bodies and residents, develop a feedback system, and make the management system as open and accessible as possible.

Today, the anti-corruption policy of the city of Karaganda is not only a set of measures, but a long-term strategy for a fair and transparent life in the city. Only when authorities, businesses and citizens work together, we can make corruption not the norm, but the exception, and be sure that every citizen lives in a society where law and justice are established.
