He highlighted that “The advanced standards outlined in the UN Convention Against Corruption serve as a key benchmark for implementing anti-corruption reforms in Kazakhstan. Joint efforts are vital for regional development, especially considering the transnational nature of corruption. Cooperation with other anti-corruption agencies abroad is also important.”

Oliver Stölpe, in turn, stated that “The Regional Platform for the accelerated implementation of the UN Convention Against Corruption is an essential tool that allows Central Asian countries to combine efforts in the prevention of corruption and strengthen the rule of law. Thanks to the partnership between anti-corruption agencies, we are creating conditions for exchanging knowledge and best global practices, which will enhance partnerships and coordination efforts for effective anti-corruption actions in Central Asia.”
The conference reaffirmed the commitment of Central Asian countries to strengthening international ties on legal assistance, extradition, and asset recovery.
As part of the forum, the International Anti-Corruption Academy (Hong Kong) conducted training sessions on effective prevention methods, asset recovery, and financial investigation tactics.

October 25 – Republic Day is a holiday that lifts the spirit of our people, strengthens statehood, unity and cohesion of our nation.
On the initiative of President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, the Republic Day was given the status of a National holiday.
A solemn event was held at the Anti-Corruption Agency with the participation of personnel, at which the head of the agency Askhat Zhumagali congratulated the staff on this significant event.
“The Anti-Corruption Service plays a special role in ensuring law and order in the country.
All efforts are aimed at fulfilling the instructions of the Head of State on building a strong rule of law, forming a society free of corruption,” Askhat Zhumagali said.
At the event, a solemn ceremony was held to award the Agency’s employees for their exemplary work and achievement of high results in their activities.
10 officers of the Anti-Corruption Service were awarded state awards by Presidential Decree, 62 Agency employees were awarded various types of incentives.
The event concluded with a festive concert.
The Anti-Corruption Agency continues systematic work to prevent corruption risks in education.
In 2023-2024, 24 heads of kindergartens were convicted of committing criminal offenses related to the misuse of budgetary funds, which caused damage KZT 171.4 mln to the state.
In order to suppress corruption risks in this area, the Anti-Corruption Service, jointly with Governor’s Office, is implementing projects to introduce information systems in preschool institutions.
For example, in the Almaty and Kyzylorda regions, mechanisms of biometric identification and QR codes are used to automate the processes of tracking children's attendance, resulting in the formation of an electronic attendance sheet that facilitates per capita funding.
The measures taken have helped prevent the creation of fictitious kindergartens, registration of children who do not actually attend preschool institutions, and have already saved approximately KZT 3.8 bln in budget funds.
In addition, the Ministry of Education is implementing a pilot project for voucher financing of preschool institutions in the cities of Shymkent, Taraz and Turkestan.
In Taraz, this project has automated the process of enrolling children in kindergartens, reduced the waiting list for vouchers to nearly zero, identified around 9,000 children who do not actually attend kindergartens, and saved KZT 600 mln in budget funds over two months.
On October 21, during an operational meeting, the Chairman of the Agency instructed to scale up the work in this direction, including overseeing the pilot project being carried out by the Ministry of Education.

On October 23, an interdepartmental meeting on the prevention of corruption risks in the road sector was held under the leadership of the Chairman of the Agency A.Zh. Zhumagali.
The Minister of Transport M.K. Karabaev, representatives of the Supreme Audit Chamber, agencies for strategic planning, protection and development of competition, Ministries of Finance, Industry and digitalization, the National Chamber of Entrepreneurs Atameken, as well as local executive authorities took part in the event.
The meeting discussed the outcomes of an external analysis of corruption risks conducted by the Agency jointly with the Ministry of Transport on behalf of the Head of State.
So, over the past 5 years, over KZT 6 trln has been spent on the road industry, but the condition of the road network has raised concerns among the public.
In 2023-2024, government agencies received over 20 thsd complaints from people about the poor quality of highways. The public associates this with corruption.
Since the beginning of this year alone, the Agency has registered 24 criminal cases in this industry.
An external analysis showed the presence of systemic corruption risks at all stages of road construction and repair, from planning to control and maintenance.
Already at the initial stage, problem areas are incorrectly identified, roads where work has recently been carried out are being repaired.
When designing, the estimate is artificially inflated due to excessive amounts of work and materials.
Contracts are often awarded to contractors without experience or resources, from a single source, or under cartel conditions. The engagement of subcontracting organizations is not monitored by anyone.
The multi-tiered control system has proven inadequate.
The conclusions of the National Center for Quality of Road Assets regarding identified defects are not mandatory for implementation, and technical supervision is carried out formally.
The potential of the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute for industry development is not fully utilized. Instead of conducting applied research and implementing innovations, the institute focuses on developing regulatory documentation.
The lack of control over the implementation of new technologies, the shortage of qualified personnel, and the complex regulatory framework also impact the quality of roads.
Insufficient digitalization exacerbates the problem. Over the past 10 years, KZT 16 bln budgetary funds have been spent on the development of information systems. However, a Digital road Map has not yet been developed.
Based on the results of the analysis, the Agency has prepared over 90 recommendations to prevent corruption risks in this area.
Measures have been proposed to revise the functions of project expertise and the technical supervision institute, to reorient the Kazakhstan Road Research Institute towards the development of in-demand innovative technologies, to provide scientific and technical support for major road projects, to enhance the powers of the National Center for Quality of Road Assets, and to create a digital road map.
A number of recommendations are already being tested.
For example, in Atyrau region, it is planned to track allocated funds through the Digital Tenge project during the average repair of one of the roads.
Work on suppressing corruption risks in the road sector and implementing the recommendations is ongoing.
