Public service is the foundation of any modern society, providing stability, development and protection of citizens' interests. Public confidence in state institutions directly depends on impeccable behavior, high professionalism and strict observance of ethical norms by each public servant.In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the principles and standards of official behavior are clearly regulated by the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Public Service in the Republic of Kazakhstan” and the Code of Ethics of Civil Servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan. These documents serve as a guideline for everyone who has chosen the path of serving the Fatherland, and set high requirements for their moral and ethical character.Ethical norms and rules of official behavior are not just formal requirements; they are the basis for effective and fair work of the state apparatus. Their observance ensures:Maintaining the high prestige of the public service. Each public servant is a representative of the state. His behavior, manners of communication, attitude to business form the public opinion about the whole system.Formation of an atmosphere of trust. Mutual respect, politeness and correctness in relations between colleagues and with citizens contribute to the creation of a healthy working environment and increase public confidence.Preventing conflict and inefficiency. Clear adherence to ethical standards minimizes the risks of interpersonal conflicts, promotes constructive resolution of disagreements and increases overall productivity.Combating corruption and other abuses. The Code of Ethics is an important tool in preventing corrupt practices by obliging civil servants to be honest, impartial and incorruptible.Any deviation from the established ethical norms and rules of official behavior, be it rudeness, neglect, unconstructive disputes or open conflicts between employees, is categorically unacceptable. Such actions not only discredit a particular public servant, but also damage the reputation of the entire public body.Heads of public institutions have a special responsibility to uphold ethical standards in their teams. They should be role models, actively suppress any violations and create conditions for maintaining high official ethics. The role of the ethics commissioner in this process is key, as he or she acts as an advisor, facilitator and monitor of ethical standards.Violation of ethical norms and rules of official behavior is considered a disciplinary offense and entails disciplinary measures provided for by law. It may be a reprimand, reprimand, strict reprimand, and in case of systematic or serious violations - demotion or even dismissal.Public service requires from each employee not only professional competence, but also high moral qualities. Only with strict observance of ethical norms and rules of official behavior can we build an effective, open and trustworthy public service.I urge each public servant to remember about his high mission and always be guided by the principles of honesty, integrity and professionalism for the prosperity of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Commissioner for Ethics N.A.

Sometimes compassion and kindness appear unexpectedly, right when they’re needed most. One recent incident in the Tupkaragan district of Mangystau Region is a vivid example of this. Officers of the Tupkaragan District Probation Service, part of the Department of the Penal Correction System for Mangystau Region, provided timely assistance to a traveler en route to the holy city of Mecca, demonstrating great humanity and professionalism.During an official trip, Major of Justice Indira Narymbetova, head of the probation department, and Junior Lieutenant of Justice Marat Ozganov noticed a confused man standing by the roadside and immediately stopped to help. Upon speaking with the weary traveler, they learned that he was a citizen of the Republic of Uzbekistan. On May 3, he had set out from the city of Bukhara by bicycle with the goal of reaching Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to perform the Hajj pilgrimage.Having already covered thousands of kilometers and crossed into Kazakhstan, the pilgrim lost his way near the village of Shetpe in Mangystau Region. Without mobile service or navigation tools, and unable to speak Kazakh, he found himself disoriented and wandering through several settlements in the Tupkaragan district, including the city of Fort-Shevchenko and the villages of Sayin Shapagatov and Akshukur.The probation officers did not remain indifferent to the man's plight. They provided comprehensive support: they installed navigation apps on his phone, gave clear directions, and explained in detail how to continue his journey. In addition, they offered him financial assistance to help cover his needs on the road.This unexpected act of kindness and compassion deeply moved the traveler. Touched by the warmth and support he received in a foreign country, he expressed sincere gratitude to the Kazakh officers.This story is a powerful example of how probation officers extend their mission beyond legal supervision, embodying both professionalism and humanity. To fulfill one's duty while showing empathy and care — that is the true mark of a dedicated public servant.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duis-mangystau/press/news/details/1004701?lang=kk
