On November 23, 2015, the law "On the civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan" was adopted, which regulates public relations related to entering the civil service of the Republic of Kazakhstan, its passage, termination, determines the legal status, material security and social protection of civil servants, as well as the activities of other persons in government bodies.
An innovation in this law is the division of civil servants into administrative and political. Administrative civil servant is a civil servant who carries out his activities on a permanent professional basis, with the exception of cases provided for by the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and acts of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. A political civil servant is a civil servant whose appointment (election), dismissal and activities are politically defining in nature, who is responsible for the implementation of political goals and objectives.
As we can see, the division is absolutely clear and understandable. These changes undoubtedly helped to define the boundaries of the powers of civil servants.
In addition, Kazakhstani civil servants were divided into “A” and “B” buildings. Corps "A" includes administrative public positions at the management level, for which a special procedure for selection to the personnel reserve, competitive selection, passage and termination of civil service, as well as special qualification requirements are provided. All other civil servants are part of Building B.
