The Kazakh Parliament has
begun work on implementing the tasks outlined in the President’s
state-of-the-nation address. By the end of the year, lawmakers are expected to
draft and adopt the Construction and Digital Codes, along with laws on banking
and artificial intelligence. Yerlan Koshanov, Speaker of the Mazhilis, the
lower house of the Parliament, emphasized that the priority is to promptly
provide legislative support for all the initiatives set out in the Address.
Particular attention will be given to cybersecurity, the legal framework for
developing Alatau City, and the protection of domestic producers within the
EAEU. Amendments will also be introduced to the mechanism for distributing
agricultural land. Koshanov noted that the Address once again demonstrates the
President’s adherence to the core principle that all initiatives are for the
people. In this context, parliamentary reform was also proposed.
«In his recent Address,
the President proposed forming the future unicameral Parliament on the basis of
party lists. Active citizens who join a party that reflects their positions and
views will be able to enter Parliament and take part in shaping the country’s
most important decisions. Such a system is widely practiced internationally.
Therefore, I call on all factions and lawmakers to support this consistent and
forward-looking reform,»
Koshanov said.
