Senate summarizes outcomes of recent regional visits to meet with population

Members of the Senate, an Upper House of the Kazakh Parliament, summed up the outcomes of their visits to the regions of the country. It bears noting that since the beginning of the year, they have held meetings with local populations. Senate Chairperson Maulen Ashimbayev underscored the importance of addressing all issues raised by residents of villages and districts into their upcoming agenda, contributing to their resolution.

“The first days of this year were marked by visits to the regions and meetings with the public. We listened to the current issues that are of concern to the population and discussed ways to address them. We are now anticipating parliamentary inquiries from Senate members on important matters. Furthermore, the issues raised will be incorporated into the organization and holding of parliamentary hearings, as well as government meetings,” Ashimbayev said.

At the Senate Bureau meeting, Ashimbayev highlighted the key tasks outlined by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in his interview with the Egemen Qazaqstan newspaper. He urged the MPs to promptly initiate work on the drafts of the Budget and Tax Codes, without waiting for their submission to the Senate.
