The government and oversight bodies have until November 24 to submit proposals aimed at sharply reducing corruption offences and improving the performance of quasi-public sector companies. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev issued the instruction during an operational meeting of the Security Council in Astana. The Head of State stressed that all reports of corruption offences involving officials at various levels would be promptly and thoroughly investigated by the National Security Committee’s Anti-Corruption Service, with the involvement of the Prosecutor General’s Office. The President also reiterated the Law and Order principle enshrined in the new Constitution. Everyone is equal before the law, regardless of their position, achievements or connections. President Tokayev emphasised that a special State Commission would ensure the proper use of public funds. Its composition will be announced early next week. The ultimate goal of these efforts, the President stressed, is to improve citizens’ well-being based on the constitutional principles of Law, Justice and Order.
