Kazakh government discusses implementation of new Constitution’s provisions

Measures to implement the provisions of Kazakhstan’s new Constitution were discussed at a government meeting. The Basic Law defines the country’s long-term strategic development and lays the foundation for systemic reforms. As part of the reforms, Kazakhstan plans to adopt five new constitutional laws and adjust eight existing ones, as well as amend more than 60 laws, including codes. The key objective is to strengthen the protection of human rights and freedoms.


«In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, the Government, together with the Parliament, must promptly bring a number of laws and subordinate acts into compliance with the new Constitution. It is necessary to develop and approve an Action Plan for promoting the Constitution, which envisages its mass publication and placement on publicly accessible electronic platforms. It is also essential to intensify informational and explanatory work regarding the country’s new Basic Lawsaid Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov.
