"By the decree of the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan-Elbasy Nursultan Nazarbayev in 2013, June 23 was approved as the Day of the Civil Servant. Thus, starting from 2014, Kazakhstan began to celebrate the Day of the Civil Servant. The performance of public service is an expression of special trust on the part of society and the state, placing high demands on the morality, ethics and moral character of public servants. The Company expects that a civil servant will invest all his strength, knowledge and experience in his professional activities, and serve him impartially and honestly. The fulfillment of the legal requirements of our citizens depends on us. I congratulate all civil servants working on the socio-economic development of the region on this holiday. I wish you good health, family well-being and success in your work! May your activities in the name of prosperity of our Motherland – the Republic of Kazakhstan be fruitful!", - he said.
During the event, a number of civil servants with various work experience were awarded letters of thanks to the akim of the Turkestan region Umirzak Shukeyev, diplomas of the regional maslikhat, the badge "Uzdik memlekettik kyzmetshi", diplomas and letters of thanks of the chairman of the Agency for Civil Service Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
It should be noted that the main purpose of the holiday is to convey to the population the importance and relevance of public service, to strengthen the managerial potential of the public sector and to form a positive image of the public service. Today, about 4 thousand civil servants work in the local self-government bodies of the Turkestan region.
