It is forbidden to give gifts to employees
I would like to remind you about the disadvantages of donating any material values to civil servants.
On October 6 of this year, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Amendments and Additions to Some Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on anti-corruption issues".
This Law is aimed at introducing additional measures to systematically prevent corruption.
Thus, one of these measures is a complete ban on supplies, material compensation and the provision of services to employees and their family members for acting in favor of the donor.
Thus, the current legislation prohibits giving any valuable gifts to civil servants, depending on their official position.
What kind of punishment can a state gift entail?
For giving a gift worth less than 2 MCI (5,556 tenge) to a proper person:
- an individual is brought to administrative responsibility in the form of a fine in the amount of two monthly calculation indices (555 thousand 600 tenge) ;
- a legal entity in the form of a rate in the amount of seven hundred and fifty monthly calculation indices ($2 million. 083 thousand 500 tenge).
And for receiving a gift, an employee is fined in the amount of six hundred monthly calculation indices (1 million 666 thousand 800 tenge).
In accordance with articles 366 (taking bribes) and 367 (taking bribes) of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The law imposes special requirements and restrictions on a civil servant when performing public service.
Disciplinary duties discrediting the civil service are also defined, responsibility for which is provided in the form of: recognition in public office, representation of incomplete official compliance or dismissal.
In particular, the following illegal actions on the part of civil servants are recognized as misconduct:
1) the donation of gifts and the provision of non-official services to official persons in order to obtain, with the use of official authorized persons, property benefits, the benefit of -;
2) acceptance of gifts or services in connection with the performance of their state or equivalent functions from public services and other persons dependent on them in the service, for general patronage or connivance in the service.
At the same time, received by them in connection with the performance of the relevant functions, are subject to a seven-day period of gratuitous delivery to a special state fund. And the services rendered under the same conditions must be paid by transferring money to the republican budget.
In addition, family members of a civil servant should not accept applications and services, appeals to tourist, health and wellness and other trains at the expense of individuals and legal entities, both foreign and the Republic of Kazakhstan, with whom the specified person is connected by service. A civil servant is obliged to donate unfinished family members to a special state fund free of charge within seven days and reimburse the cost of services that his family members incorrectly reproduced by transferring money to the republican budget.
