In Kazakhstan, work continues on a comprehensive review of existing legislation in line with the new Basic Law. The constitutional changes have required the alignment of all regulatory legal acts. In the first phase, a package of laws has already been adopted, including six constitutional laws. These have laid the legal foundation for the operation of updated state institutions. This was discussed in Astana at an international scientific and practical conference. Experts examined the impact of constitutional reform on the development of legislation and the public administration system. Participants also noted that the changes would lead to the development of mechanisms for public participation in decision-making and greater efficiency in public administration.
«Starting from July 1, a new stage of social relations will begin as constitutional institutions start operating in a new framework. This will make the future parliamentary corps more accessible to citizens and more professional. From the outset, the President emphasized that Parliament must be professional - a key principle. A professional, responsible parliament carries a deep meaning embodied in the Kurultai,» said Marat Bashimov, Member of the Mazhilis, the lower house of the Kazakh Parliament.
«Key elements of the new constitutional reform
include, above all, the establishment of a unicameral Parliament designed to
serve as a platform for lawmaking. The level of responsibility of the
legislative body in adopting laws is increasing. The entire legislative process
is also set to be affected, with procedures shifting to an earlier stage -
prior to the formal submission of draft laws to Parliament - starting from the
stage of legislative ideas, their conceptual development, public discussion,
and legal review,» said
Zhanar Dzhigitekova, Director of the Institute of Legislation and Legal
Information, Kazakh Ministry of Justice.
