In order to ensure law and order and prevent corruption risks, the Agency has conducted a monitoring of the implementation of recommendations from an external analysis of corruption risks in the financing of elite sports.
As of today, based on the recommendations of the Anti-Corruption Service, the Ministry and local executive authorities have carried out the following work:
- The disproportions in the funding of mass and professional sports have been addressed. For example, in 2023, KZT 35 bln was allocated for mass sports and KZT 340 bln for professional sports. This year, the allocation is KZT 195.4 bln for mass sports and KZT 185.5 bln for professional sports, respectively.
- KZT 1.3 bln, unjustifiably spent on fake sporting events and salary supplements, has been refunded to the budget.
- Funding for football clubs has been reduced by KZT 2.2 bln. For example, Turkestan region by KZT 1 bln, Akmola region by KZT 390 mln, Kostanay region by KZT 350 mln, Pavlodar region by KZT 300 mln, and Zhetysu region by KZT 146.2 mln.
- Funding for professional sports has been reduced by KZT 4.6 bln (from KZT 12.1 bln to KZT 7.5 bln). For instance, Shymkent city by KZT 4.2 bln, Akmola region by KZT 242 mln, Turkestan region by KZT 86 mln, Pavlodar region by KZT 58.5 mln, Abai region by KZT 38 mln, and East Kazakhstan region by KZT 2 mln.
- Eight sports facilities have been returned from ineffective management. For example, in Almaty city — 2 facilities (“Halyk Arena” and “Almaty Arena”); Atyrau region — 2 (“Ice Palace” and “Central Swimming Pool”); West Kazakhstan region — 3 (building and stadium of FC “Akzhayik”, Youth Sports School for winter sports); Kostanay region — 1 (Ice Palace).
The following recommendations from the Agency are still being monitored (based on the results of the External Corruption Risk Analysis):
- Reduction of types and subtypes of sports disciplines;
- Ensuring transparency and optimizing expenses for sports events and managerial staff;
- Creating conditions for the fair and transparent distribution of off-budget funds.

On December 20, the Anti-Corruption Service, jointly with the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs "Atameken", the Astana Hub for Public Service, the OSCE Office, and the Academy of Law Enforcement Agencies under the General Prosecutor’s Office, held a meeting with the business community on preventing administrative barriers through digitalization.
The event was also attended by authorized and local government bodies, professional business associations, and IT companies.
As part of the Make Way for Business project, the Anti-Corruption Service, together with "Atameken", protected the rights of 25,000 entrepreneurs in just 11 months of this year (47,000 since the start of the project in 2022-2024).
Over the last two years (2023-2024), the Anti-Corruption Service has registered 7 criminal cases for obstructing lawful business activities (Article 365 of the Criminal Code) and 53 administrative offenses for interference in business (Article 173 of the Administrative Code).
Business complaints mainly concern actions by government authorities, including non-payment by customers for delivered goods, unjustified restrictions imposed by tax authorities on accounts, and unjustified refusals by local executive authorities to issue land, permits, and subsidies.
Analysis has shown that these problems stem from insufficient automation of business processes. Therefore, during the meeting, the government authorities discussed the measures they are taking to suppress identified corruption risks.
The business community was introduced to the opportunities available through the Unified Business Support Portal "BGOV", the State Urban Planning Cadastre Geoportal, the State Subsidy Information System, the eQurylys.kz information system, the "Unified Procurement Window", and others.
In addition, IT companies presented their developments that simplify business operations.
During the discussion, entrepreneurs raised several issues regarding the shortcomings of certain information systems.
Overall, the event facilitated the establishment of dialogue between business, government, and the IT sector.
Following the meeting, it is planned to develop a Roadmap to prevent corruption risks in the aforementioned areas.

In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, aimed at enhancing control over the expenditure of public funds, the implementation and scaling of the "money coloring" mechanism during budget execution is underway.
This mechanism is being implemented on the "Digital Tenge" platform and serves as an important tool for ensuring transparency and minimizing corruption risks in the use of funds.
It allows for tracking the use of budgetary funds at all stages—from allocation to full expenditure. Each tenge receives a unique digital tag, which prevents the possibility of theft and promotes the rational use of the budget.
On December 19, the Anti-Corruption Agency held an interagency meeting on the implementation of the mentioned project.
The meeting was attended by members of the Mazhilis of Parliament, representatives from the National Bank, ministries of finance, transport, industry and construction, agriculture, as well as relevant government authorities and organizations.
To date, the implementation of projects has begun in strategically important sectors such as agriculture, and the construction of roads (both highways and railways).
In Akmola region, the issuance of microloans for the purchase of agricultural livestock and subsidies for agricultural machinery are already being tested as part of the "Aul Amanaty" program.
In the construction sector, this mechanism is being used on the road project "Mukur-Kulsary" in Atyrau region, valued at KZT 2.1 bln, and on the railway project "Dostyk-Moyinty" in Karaganda region, valued at over KZT 160 bln.
Participants noted that a key component of the further successful functioning of the mechanism is its full integration with the information systems of government authorities, which will significantly enhance control over the actual use of budget funds in these sectors.
The meeting also discussed the results of applying the "money coloring" mechanism and prospects for its further implementation as an effective and practical tool for preventing theft and irrational use of public funds.
During the discussion, government authorities were recommended to continue work in these areas, with a mandatory focus on risk management and safeguarding the interests of the business community.
In addition, a number of proposals were developed following the meeting to further expand and scale the use of this innovative tool to other sectors and areas.
