During the discussion, the chairman of the Association of Legal Entities “Association of the Civil Alliance of the Zhambyl Region” Zaytzhan Yuldashev said that the bill does not take into account the description of the difference between the object and the subject, he also suggested adding the category of representatives of independent media to the list of subjects of public control.

The head of the public association "Zhalyn" Kurmet Kerimbekov, noting that this draft law is the most important for society, suggested taking into account that the subject of public control should have the right to exercise public control without the permission of the facility. In addition, he emphasized the need for material support in the form of grant support for subjects of public control, since public control requires any financial resources.

The next zonal meeting to discuss the bill is planned to be held with representatives of the public of the East Kazakhstan, Pavlodar, Karaganda regions.

Recall that the Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, was instructed to develop and adopt a Law "On Public Control" in order to ensure openness and accountability to society of state bodies and the quasi-public sector.
