SOLEMN MEETING AT THE CONSTITUTIONAL COUNCIL

On December 14, 2020, a solemn meeting dedicated to the Independence Day of the Republic of Kazakhstan was held at the Constitutional Council.
Opening the event, Chairman of the Constitutional Council K. Mami said that very soon the whole country would celebrate the Independence Day. For each of us, this event has a fateful meaning.

Since that time, Kazakhstan, under the leadership of the country’s first President, has gone through a difficult and very intensive path of nation- building and constitutional evolution. Kazakhstan has emerged as an equal and respected member of the world community, capable of setting ambitious goals and consistently achieving them, the Speaker said.
On the proposal of the Constitutional Council, a number of citizens were awarded state awards for their significant contribution to the implementation of constitutional values and exemplary service.
The Order “Parasat” was awarded to the academician of the National Academy of Sciences, the first Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Kazakhstan Murat Taji-Muratovich Baimakhanov.
Member of the Constitutional Council Askhat Daulbaev was awarded the Order “Barys”, II degree. The award was presented to him by the Head of State at the Akorda residence.
