nail.Kashgar. «Tokayev’s political reforms: what has been achieved and why is it on hold?“Yesterday marked the fifth anniversary of Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s election as the country’s president. One of the main steps he took as head of state was political reform: changes in the mechanisms for the formation of parliaments and assemblies, the general electoral system, legislation on political parties, the introduction of elections for governors, including regions and cities. What have they offered to the country? Political scientist Zamir Karazhanov discussed this topic – But in our case, we actually need to talk about not five years, but two and a half years, because Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received full powers as head of state only after the events of January 2022. Before that, he was unable to independently develop personnel policy and make key decisions, and had to coordinate with the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan, headed by former President Nazarbayev.

DN.Kashgar. «The paradox of a “fair Kazakhstan”“- The state adviser and chief ideological officer in President Tokayev’s entourage produced a large amount of material “on the conceptual basis of the political line”, from which, in theory, the country’s citizens should understand how and where we will achieve our goals. The country will move. Unfortunately, after reading his work, “Fair Kazakhstan” became clearer, but there is still a feeling that our country looks completely different from top to bottom. Moreover, both literally and figuratively. Even for us journalists, after reading Erlan Kalina’s article, state policy became even more unclear, for example, why the state adviser decided that citizens should not discuss the country’s foreign policy, for some reason he included it in the list of topics that are beyond the “red line” that neither ordinary citizens nor the media should cross. The possible answer must be read between the lines: “…The multifaceted policy pursued by Kazakhstan is extremely difficult and challenging.».

AZATTYQ.organization. «Nothing personal, just business. Why did Kazakhstan remove the Taliban from its list of terrorist organizations?» — What prompted the Kazakh government to remove the Taliban from the list of terrorist organizations? What does this cooperation entail and what risks does it entail? Does it mean that Kazakhstan recognizes the Afghan Taliban government? Azattyk talked about this with Bruce PANNIER, a journalist and researcher in Central Asia – For now, you just have to come to terms with the Taliban and accept the fact that they control Afghanistan.

There.Kashgar. «“They don’t give, it’s impossible and it’s not”: a prominent Kazakh economist talks about the country’s economic policy» — Almas Chukin, Economist — Ask any businessman what complaints he has about the government’s economic policies, what is holding him back from growth. I’ve tried more than once. The answers vary. But I distill them down to the three words in the title. The behavior of government agencies and state-owned enterprises does not allow for free growth and competition. They either enter mature markets (e.g., warehouse development), or grant loans to the wrong people, or distribute government orders in the wrong way. The second set of complaints, broadly speaking, is “low.” Thousands of regulatory requirements are either meaningless or unenforceable, and thousands of officials are ready to come and inspect and punish. Third, there are no resources. The state owes everyone and everything. Everything is missing, from electricity connections to a trained workforce. There is no land, no water, no energy, no people, no roads, no carriages, no fertilizer, nothing.

Nomadic people.they are. Daniyar Ashinbayev – “The state is cracking down on bad habits“The decision recently announced by Tokayev has caused criticism in certain circles, but one must understand that the state’s overly liberal attitude on many issues has led to the spread of harmful addictions among large parts of the population. These are e-cigarettes, gambling, energy drinks, snus, etc. Legislative measures are being taken to restrict and ban their use. Apparently, there is a powerful lobby that actively opposes health issues. In terms of the gambling industry, the question of a complete ban on casinos was not even raised. During the deliberations on the bill on gambling addiction, the working group rejected the proposal for a complete ban on foreign bookmakers, their brands and mobile applications. This leads to sad thoughts.

Satellite News.Kashgar. «Does Kazakhstan need a law against foreign agents? After Georgia’s actionIn recent years, three post-Soviet countries have passed “foreign agent” laws: Russia, Kyrgyzstan, and finally Georgia, where a major scandal involving foreign politicians took place. Kazakh political scientist Daniyar ASHIMBAYEV says that in theory, there is no threat from foreign funding. But only when it comes to research grants, joint social projects – and international organizations are openly involved in them, Kazakhstan has no problems with this. It is completely different when NGOs, non-profit organizations and media actively intervene in the information space with foreign funding, pursuing very dubious goals.
