«At the initiative of President Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, a draft new Constitution was prepared and put forward for a nationwide referendum. This is undoubtedly an important step towards strengthening democracy. For the first time, the new Preamble declared human rights and freedoms as the state’s highest priority. The draft Constitution was developed with broad public involvement. Over a six-month period, members of Parliament and maslikhats, public figures, experts, and specialists from various fields took part in shaping the document. As a result, the new Constitution is balanced and carefully considered,» said Maulen Ashimbayev, Chairman of the Senate, the Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament.
