      President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev declared a holy war on corruption at all levels of government and society. The President put the subject firmly, speaking at the Political Council and the XVI Congress of the Party "Nur Otan", the board of the Prosecutor General's Office of Kazakhstan.

      I think corruption in Kazakhstan is a significant problem for economic and political development of the country, is a threat to its national security.

      Fighting corruption in Kazakhstan is not the first year. Completely eradicate corruption is impossible, but to reduce its level are quite capable of any State. Provided that this work will be carried out systematically, rather than on a case by case basis.

      The Concept of Legal Policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, approved by President Nazarbayev (02.09.2002g.), Laid concrete basis for further improvement and development of the whole complex of existing legislation, including anti-corruption.

 However, the government of our country, in the five years that have passed since the adoption of the Concept of Legal Policy, no real and effective measures for the improvement and development of existing anti-corruption legislation actually been taken.

      The problem of the fight against corruption is one of the important in our society and the state at the present stage. Corruption corrupts and undermines the foundations of the state from within, negates all undertakings honest people willing to put your heart and soul to the service for the benefit and prosperity of our nation and fatherland. To increase the effectiveness of the fight against corruption is necessary to activate the Set of political, legal and moral order, we need an active life and the political will of all the people of Kazakhstan, focused on the creation of an atmosphere in society that was burning under their feet corrupt the earth! And only then can we expect some positive results. The current state of the same fight against corruption is poor. It is not enough to effectively engage and work with us legal mechanism to combat corruption, hence such penalties for corruption offenses. One of the most effective instruments to combat corruption offenses - it's a tough criminal-legal struggle with corruption offenses. Criminal law provides for liability for various corruption offenses, not fully and clearly defines the range of issues related to the commission of offenses of corruption in our country. It should be improved, taking into account the positive experience of the criminal law-foreign countries.

     It is necessary to tighten sanctions articles on corruption in law to make penalties for crimes against the state more severe and, therefore, is not only fair and inevitable, but also daunting. And even the small size should not be an excuse for such an act. Personally, I think that there should be a mandatory confiscation of all property, without the right to continue this activity in the future and imprisonment without possibility of parole (offer many years).

    It is now necessary administrative and legal regulation of performance of civil servants that are linked to corruption risks. I believe it is necessary to adopt an approximate Registry civil service positions (civil, law enforcement, military) that are associated with an increased risk of corruption - strengthening administrative control over employees that override these positions make scheduled and unscheduled rotation of personnel.

      To reduce the statistics on the number of corrupt officials, it is necessary to eradicate it in the ranks of civil servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan. At the same time, to create conditions to promote the work of civil servants to avoid extortion and bribery.

      In the law "On State Service" should make changes and additions relating to more stringent requirements for the selection of personnel for work in the public service:

      1. All civil servants - to commit, if the employee will be seen, or convicted of corruption, he and his family will be denied the opportunity to participate in all state programs.

      2. Annual inspection of all close relatives of movable and immovable assets (savings banks, and so on. D.). Check carefully what a way to earn and whether legitimate grounds.

      3. Rotation of civil servants every 5 years (not teams).

    4. Optimization of the central offices of the state, as a method of combating corruption.

    5. Create a database of who was involved in corruption.

    6. Create a database of corrupt people.

     Number of civil servants should be brought into line with the mandate entrusted to one or another executive body. Secure the legal and administrative mechanisms for the use of personnel reserve and rotation in a single system of civil service of Kazakhstan.

      In order to strengthen the rule of law in the public service to develop the law "On disciplinary responsibility of civil servants", which will contribute to the improvement of disciplinary practices in the public service, and thus - the formation of administrative-legal regime, prevent and combat corruption in the public service.

    Corrupt us - wealthy people occupying high positions with good salaries and debt service have more privileges! - Ashamed and sorry for the state! At corrupt completely absent good human trait, as the conscience!

    The higher the position held, the decency, education, culture and industry have to be higher to that obliges training (if any!).

    Corrupt, bribe-taker - a person is not educated, and education is laid in the family.

         Mannered, educated, cultured and self-respecting man, before taking a bribe in the first place to think about yourself (authority), his family, and he is unlikely to take such a step. For him it is a psychological barrier - a taboo!

    Conclusion: To appoint to senior positions educated people, which means decent, honest, principled, hardworking and educated! That, unfortunately, is not done.

    I speak - I suggest, for 20 years, to develop a concept at the state level, "On the education of the citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan", which should be specified functions of all ministries and departments, as well as the status, rights and duties of the child (depending on age) and parents (benefits, responsibilities, promotion, punishment).

March 5 this year This document was presented with one of the leaders of the state structure of Kazakhstan.

 To everyone's attention.
