In order to prevent offenses, the Department of Public Revenues for the Jetisu Region draws the attention of civil servants and persons equated to them to the need for strict compliance with Article 12 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Countering Corruption".

To prevent joint service of close relatives, spouses, and in-laws. Not to use official information for personal gain. Not to accept material rewards, gifts, or services for performing official duties. Not to open accounts or store valuables in foreign banks. Not to participate in gambling and betting, including via the Internet.Written consent to these rules is recorded by the personnel service. Refusal to accept the restrictions results in a refusal of employment, and their violation constitutes grounds for immediate dismissal.These prohibitions partly apply to family members as well (spouses, parents, children, and dependents living together) — they are not entitled to accept gifts and services related to the activities of the civil servant.The law establishes a strict procedure in the event that benefits were received contrary to the rules or without the person's knowledge:Accidentally received money must be transferred to the republican budget within two weeks from the moment of discovery, with an explanation sent to the public revenue authority. Gifts are subject to gratuitous transfer to the State Property Committee within seven calendar days. Illegally provided services must be paid into the budget within the same seven-day period.

Participants from the Netherlands, the USA, Belgium, Sweden, Uzbekistan and other countries have already joined the initiative, and applications continue to arrive from almost all continents.— We expected an international response, but we did not expect that the geography of the project would be so wide.

Today we continue to receive new video works from different parts of the world. This indicates that the project is resonating with people. The challenge will last until July 5," said Aizhan Shakenova, Deputy Head of the Department of Culture, Archives and Documentation. As part of the challenge, participants perform Kazakh folk kuis on dombra and record video greetings dedicated to the National Day of Dombra.

The role of the authorized body in bankruptcy procedures of individuals in the Republic of Kazakhstan 13.07.2026
The institution of personal bankruptcy, introduced by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On restoration of solvency and bankruptcy of citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan" (hereinafter - the Law), has become a vital mechanism for the social protection of citizens facing financial difficulties. Its primary objective is not merely the settlement of outstanding liabilities, but also providing debtors with the opportunity to restore their financial solvency and resume economic activities unburdened by unsustainable debt. The authorized body, represented by the State Revenue Committee of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Kazakhstan and its territorial divisions, plays a key role in the practical implementation of this mechanism.The powers of the authorized body are defined in Article 9 of the Law. The authorized body provides regulatory, supervisory, and organizational oversight for both out-of-court and judicial bankruptcy procedures, approves mandatory documentation forms, develops frameworks for monitoring the financial condition of debtors, and ensures the uniform enforcement of relevant legislation throughout the country.The authorized body carries particular role during the administration of out-of-court bankruptcy proceedings. It is responsible for receiving and reviewing citizens' applications, verifying compliance with the eligibility criteria established by law, and requesting the necessary verified data from state authorities and external organizations before rendering a final decision to initiate or deny the procedure. This centralized approach guarantees objectivity during the verification process and minimizes the risk of abuse.The role of the authorized body is critical within judicial bankruptcy proceedings as well. Upon the initiation of court proceedings, the authorized body appoints a financial manager, provides them with exhaustive intelligence regarding the debtor’s financial standing, assets, and liabilities, and exercises state control over the professional activities of financial managers.  This contributes to the legality, transparency, and overall efficiency of the bankruptcy process.An equally important statutory function is monitoring the financial condition of an individual post-completion of the out-of-court bankruptcy procedure. This monitoring is designed to detect instances where the debtor subsequently acquires property subject to mandatory state registration, thereby ensuring compliance with legal provisions while maintaining a balance between the interests of debtors and creditors.Thus, the authorized body serves as the central element of the personal bankruptcy framework in Kazakhstan. Its activities are directed toward maintaining procedural legality, protecting the rights of both citizens and creditors, enhancing structural transparency, and reinforcing public trust in the institution of bankruptcy. Optimization of digital services alongside ongoing legislative developments will ensure that these bankruptcy procedures remain accessible, efficient, and socially oriented.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-vko/press/news/details/1252762?lang=ru
