The Law on the special legal regime of the city of Alatau
has been recognized as constitutional following a review by the Constitutional
Court of Kazakhstan. The document was considered upon the request of President
Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The law is being adopted to establish a new center of
business activity, investment, and innovation in the country. According to the
document, this objective aligns with the Preamble of the Constitution, which
reflects the desire of the people of Kazakhstan to take a worthy place in the
international community. The Constitutional Court emphasizes that the supremacy
of the Basic Law over the law on the special legal regime of Alatau City
remains in force. At the same time, it does not repeal or amend the principles
of the Constitution. All its provisions remain binding and must be strictly
observed both in the drafting of new legal acts and in the work of the city
authorities, as well as in their interaction with state institutions.
