First Deputy Chair of the Anti-Corruption Agency, Ulan Sarkulov, presented draft laws to the Majilis that aim to introduce several key changes to anti-corruption legislation, Orda.kz reports.
One is the creation of a public registry of corrupt officials.
According to Sarkulov, this measure is designed to promote a culture of zero tolerance toward corruption in society.
The registry of corrupt officials is not just a list, but an effective tool for public accountability. It will include individuals convicted of serious and especially severe corruption crimes, with details such as their name, place of work, and case specifics. Removal from the registry will only be possible following an acquittal or complete expungement of the conviction,Sarkulov noted.
The registry will be published on the Anti-Corruption Agency’s website, ensuring accessibility for both citizens and organizations. The initiative's primary goals are to increase transparency and prevent repeat offenses.
The submitted draft laws also propose new regulations for addressing conflicts of interest, criminal liability for promising or offering a bribe, and increased liability of legal entities involved in corrupt activities.
These initiatives align with the Concept of Anti-Corruption Policy until 2026 and the recommendations of the OECD and the UN Convention against Corruption.
