Countering corruption in government agencies
According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Combating Corruption", corruption is the illegal use by persons holding a responsible public position, persons authorized to perform state functions, persons equated to persons authorized to perform state functions, officials of their official (official) powers and related opportunities in order to obtain or extract personally or through intermediaries of property (non-property) benefits and advantages for themselves or third parties, as well as bribery of these persons by providing benefits and advantages.
Anti-corruption has an important role in the public service system. As a result of acts of corruption, there is an illegal extraction of material and non-material benefits, which results in undermining the interests of society and reducing the authority of state power.
Anti-corruption is carried out on the basis of the following principles:
1) legality;
2) the priority of protecting the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of man and citizen;
3) publicity and transparency;
4) interaction between the state and civil society;
5) systematic and comprehensive use of anti-corruption measures;
6) priority application of corruption prevention measures;
7) encouragement of persons providing assistance in combating corruption;
8) the inevitability of punishment for committing corruption offenses.
Thus, civil servants should adhere to the principle of zero tolerance for corruption.
In order to comply with the norms specified in the legislation, civil servants must strictly comply with their functional duties and the requirements of the anti-corruption and other legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and immediately inform management about the occurrence of provocative actions and conflict situations with tax agents, participants in foreign economic activity and other government agencies.
It should be noted that corruption offenses are subject to liability in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
