A civil servant is a person who serves the people and the good of the country. All his actions are aimed at solving the pressing problems of citizens. He is client-oriented and always takes into account the opinion of the citizen as a consumer of public services.
At the same time, a civil servant must always comply with moral and ethical standards of conduct, both at work and outside of work hours. Any violation of the ethical standards of conduct of a civil servant will be strictly suppressed. It is important to note that these measures hold a special place in the creation of a professional state apparatus.
In order to comply with the rule of law in the civil service, on January 1, 2016, the "Code of Ethics of Civil Servants of the Republic of Kazakhstan" came into force, which was approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated December 29, 2015 No. 153 "On measures to further improve the ethical standards and rules of conduct of civil servants Republic of Kazakhstan". This Code covers general standards of conduct for civil servants; off-duty behavior standards; standards of conduct in official relations; standards of conduct related to public speaking, including in the media; the main functions of the ethics officer; organizing the activities of the ethics officer.
As we can see, the state pays special attention to the norms of behavior of civil servants, regardless of their position. Since carrying out the civil service is an expression of special trust on the part of society and the state and makes high demands on the moral and ethical image of civil servants.
