East Kazakhstan citizens are encouraged to report corruption

Encouraging those who report corruption or otherwise assist in it is an effective mechanism for combating corruption. We pay great attention to this issue.

So, in 2020, according to the instructions of the Head of State, a system was established to encourage citizens about the facts of corruption. A new differentiated system of incentives for citizens has been introduced. Previously, this was carried out depending on the category of the crime. Currently, the person who reported this, depending on the amount of the bribe or damage, will have 10% of this amount, this applies if the amount of the bribe is higher than 1 thousand MCI. For example, if the amount of damage or bribes is 50 million tenge, then the person who reported the fact of corruption will receive 5 million tenge after the court verdict.

In the first quarter of 2021, 40 citizens of the republic were paid incentives totaling 6.4 million tenge.

The protection of persons who have reported corruption is carried out properly. According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption", a person who reports such cases is not only encouraged by money, but is also protected by the state. Information about such a person is a state secret.

It should be noted that when faced with the facts of corruption, you can call the Call Center at number 1424, and East Kazakhstan residents can also call the duty station of the Anti-Corruption Service of the East Kazakhstan Region at number 8 (7232) 29-88-88.

We call on all residents of the region to take an active civil position and report the facts of corruption known to you. Only in this way, as a whole society, will we be able to eradicate this social problem.
