ANTI-CORRUPTION IS THE DUTY OF EVERY CITIZEN!

By Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 4, 2020 No. 32, changes were made to the system of rewards for citizens who reported facts of corruption. For corruption crimes, where the amount of a bribe or damage caused or the cost of benefits provided or services rendered does not exceed 1,000 MCI (3,063,000 tenge) - the amount of remuneration is from 30 to 100 MCI (from 91,890 to 306,300 tenge) depending on the category crimes. If the amount of the bribe or damage caused or the cost of the benefits provided or services rendered exceeds 1,000 MCI, then the amount of remuneration will be 10 percent of the specified amount, but not more than 4,000 MCI or 12,252,000 tenge. Financial incentives for providing information or otherwise providing assistance in identifying, suppressing, disclosing and investigating corruption crimes are aimed at enhancing the civic position of the population in the fight against corruption. It should be noted that the encouragement of citizens is carried out if the information provided by the person is true or has helped the competent authorities in identifying, suppressing, disclosing and investigating a corruption offense. The protection of persons who report 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 all citizens to have “zero” tolerance for manifestations of corruption. And in the event of a collision with them, report this to the Anti-Corruption Service for the East Kazakhstan Region at 8 (7232) 29-88-88 or to the Call Center 1424. Countering corruption is the duty of every citizen!
