With the adoption of the new Law "On the Civil Service of the Republic of Kazakhstan" from January 1, 2016, new concepts of "ethics commissioners", "Ethics Councils" were introduced, which are undoubtedly aimed at strengthening state discipline.
The institution of the Ethics Commissioner is being introduced for the first time in our country, with the exception of the Ethics Councils, which replaced the abolished "Disciplinary Council".
In accordance with the Regulation on the Ethics Commissioner, the ethics commissioner is introduced in the central and local executive bodies, while the functions of the ethics commissioner are assigned to a civil servant who has earned recognition and respect in the team.
Today, the Ethics Commissioner in the local executive bodies of the Karaganda region is Ayeshov Bakhtiar Gabdullovich, who holds the position of head of the state and legal department of the regional akim's office.
The Ethics Commissioner is responsible for ensuring compliance with the norms of official ethics and preventing violations of the legislation on civil service, anti-corruption and the Code of Ethics of Civil Servants, as well as providing advice to civil servants and citizens within their functions, which in turn, we believe, will contribute to the formation of a positive moral and psychological climate in the teams.
