The main objective of the Concept of the Anti-Corruption Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2022-2026 is the formation of an anti-corruption culture and worldview, improving the legal culture not only of authorized persons, but also of all citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The representative of the Anti-Corruption Service announced that according to the amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses that have come into effect, the anti-corruption service has the competence to identify and suppress administrative offenses. The law has introduced the responsibility of persons authorized to perform state functions, or persons equated to them for receiving, personally or through an intermediary, illegal material remuneration, gifts, benefits or services. At the same time, those citizens who make such gifts may also be held liable for providing illegal material remuneration.

Until recently, there was a ban on the admission of such persons to public service and senior positions in the quasi-public sector, now a complete ban on the admission of persons convicted of corruption to any quasi-public sector position has been introduced.

During the meeting, the importance of introducing into the public consciousness such values as the ideology of integrity, honesty, legality, reliability, uncompromising adherence to moral and ethical principles that form the basis of modern anti-corruption policy of the state was noted.
