At a Central Communications Service press conference, member of Kazakhstan's Supreme Judicial Council Nuriya Sisenova discussed how many judges left the profession in 2024 and why, Orda.kz reports.
Many judges are retiring, and some are leaving under honorable retirement.
A judge with 20 years of experience may retire with honor. If such a judge has not reached retirement age, they may also retire with a guarantee of maintaining independence, Sisenova said, answering a journalist’s question.
Six judges left the system as a result of disciplinary action.
Three judges were suspended for violating the code of judicial ethics, and three more for gross violation of the law in case considerations, she added.
Some judges leave due to health reasons.
There are judges who can leave the profession of their own accord after three to five years of work. There are currently 2,700 judges on staff in the republic. There are about 300 vacancies, Nuria Sisenova said.
Between 100 and 120 judges left the system in 2024.
