Tengrinews.kz - The Criminal Code of Kazakhstan is being amended with a new article that will introduce responsibility for the illegal provision of rewards. This amendment is part of changes and additions to legislative acts regarding anti-corruption measures.
Today, the Mazhilis is reviewing the draft laws "On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Anti-Corruption Issues" and "On Amendments and Additions to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Anti-Corruption Issues."
As stated by Ulan Sarkulov, the First Deputy Chairman of the Anti-Corruption Agency, these changes and additions include amendments to the law "On operational investigations."
"The amendments to the law provide the opportunity to conduct special operational activities to detect cases of illegal reward acceptance when there are signs of extortion. The Criminal Code is also supplemented with a new Article 247-1, which introduces responsibility for the illegal provision of rewards," said Sarkulov during the Mazhilis session.
As the first deputy chairman of the Anti-Corruption Agency, he stated that this will allow holding accountable not only those who accept bribes but also those who provide illegal rewards.
