Kazakhstani government aided by its law making organ

Under the leadership of President Nursultan Nazarbayev, the Kazakhstani government aided by its law making organ, the parliament, created several national anti corruption institutions as one of the key strategies to combat corruption. The main reason of these institutions was to mainly coordinate anti corruption activities. While this seems a noble idea, many critics however argue that this is a move to stifle anti corruption efforts since the government claims to much power through these institutions. Through ‘The Commission on Prevention of Corruption and Enforcement of the Civil Service Ethics’ CPCECS, the Kazakh government aims at strengthening anti corruption efforts with the public service by enhancing the implementation of the public service ethics ²⁸.
