There is such a profession-to serve the state

Kazakhstan, having declared itself a sovereign and independent state, has received a historic chance to build a new country and a united nation. During the years of independence, not only the socio-economic sphere, but also the political system has been radically reformed in our country. A special place in the modern history of Kazakhstan is occupied by the process of reforming the civil service system in place of the outdated Soviet state apparatus. The implementation of administrative reforms, and, in particular, the reform of the civil service, was due not only to the need for state-building, but also to the influence of global trends.

The civil service is fine
The first stage of transformations occurred in 1992-1997 and was marked by the formation of a new system of state power and management. This process took place in very difficult conditions associated with crisis phenomena in almost all spheres of life of the Kazakh society. In political terms, this was manifested in an almost complete revision of the model of future government. At the same time, the previous approaches and mechanisms for managing the affairs of society and the state were gradually becoming obsolete.
In the early 90s, the civil service was practically not considered as an independent object of official policy and legal regulation. On the other hand, the issues of the civil service as a political and administrative institution were given a separate place in the first and second Constitutions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. In particular, the principle of the equal right of citizens to access to public service was proclaimed.
Since 1995, the leadership of Kazakhstan has declared the creation of a modern, effective public service system a strategic priority of its policy. An extremely important role in this regard was played by the presidential Decree, which has the force of law ," On Public Service". This document defined the legal status of civil servants, social guarantees for them, the basic principles of personnel policy and the hierarchy of positions in the state apparatus. At the same time, the document clearly distinguished civil servants from other employees of state bodies engaged in maintenance of the work of the state apparatus.
In accordance with the organizational and legal level of state bodies, official position and competence, civil servants were divided into
8 job categories. Their list was opened by the highest category, including the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Ministers, Secretary of State and Head of the Presidential Administration. Later, Elbasy included the chairmen of the National Bank and the Constitutional Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan in this category. In addition to official categories, civil servants were also divided among themselves according to the qualification classes assigned to them, which were designed to demonstrate compliance with the level of professional training and qualification requirements.
The presidential Decree also created prerequisites for the formation of a positional model of the civil service in the future, based on competitive selection of personnel. In addition, in order to determine the compliance of civil servants with their positions and service prospects, the certification procedure was introduced for the first time.
Thus, at the first stage of administrative reforms in Kazakhstan, the organizational and legal foundations of the new civil service system were laid.
