East Kazakhstanis were rewarded for the amount of more than 4.5 million tenge

Since 2020, a new differentiated system of incentives has been introduced for citizens who have reported cases of corruption. Currently, for reporting a corruption offense for which the amount of a bribe or damage caused does not exceed 1000 MCI, the remuneration, depending on the severity of the crime, ranges from 30 to 100 MCI. For reporting the fact of corruption with damage over 1000 MCI, the remuneration is 10 percent, but not more than 4000 MCI. For example, if the amount of the bribe or damage caused is 50 million tenge, then the person who reported the fact of corruption will receive 5 million tenge after the court verdict. So, since the beginning of this year, 6 citizens in the amount of more than 4.5 million tenge have been encouraged in the East Kazakhstan region, who reported the facts of corruption to the regional Anti-Corruption Service. At the same time, the maximum amount of remuneration in the current year was 4 million tenge, the minimum - 138,900 tenge. It should be noted that the encouragement of persons who reported the facts of corruption, as well as otherwise providing assistance in this, is an effective mechanism for combating corruption. The protection of persons who reported the fact of corruption is carried out in accordance with the norms of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption", while the person who reported such cases is not only encouraged by monetary funds, but is also protected by the state. Information about such a person is a state secret. We call on the East Kazakhstanis, residents of the region to show an active civic position and, when faced with facts of corruption, report it by calling the Call Center at 1424, or to the duty unit of the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan region at 8 (7232) 29-88-88. Only in this way, with the whole society, we can eradicate this social problem.
