Kazakh defense enterprises should
remain under state ownership, according to Senate Chairperson Maulen
Ashimbayev. He also emphasized the need for the implementation of new systemic
mechanisms to support defense enterprises. Today, members of the Senate, an
Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament, considered a draft law on national
security and service in special state agencies of the country in two readings.
It is noteworthy that Senate members conceptually supported the draft law but
proposed amendments. These amendments aim to eliminate duplicative functions,
and the document also includes provisions on the introduction of voluntary
fingerprint registration. The primary objective of the draft law is to ensure
measures that strengthen the prevention of extremism and promote the
development of the country’s military-industrial potential.
“This is a matter of national
security. We believe these enterprises should be under state ownership.
Therefore, it is evident that implementing systemic support mechanisms for such
enterprises is necessary. We suggest that you work on this issue with our
Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Security to identify the
possibilities within the legal framework. If changes need to be made in terms
of providing support, we are ready to discuss this with the MPs,” said Maulen Ashimbayev,
Chairperson of the Senate, the Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament.
