According to Nur Otan’s deputy chair, Mr. Sergei Gromov, the party is to set up a network of public councils in the regions to implement its strategy on the fight against corruption.

"We plan to bolster anticorruption efforts of the civil society by establishing public anti-corruption councils as support centers,” Gromov announced at a press briefing in Astana.

"The councils will welcome representatives of political organizations, civil society and the media,” Gromov said adding that Nur Otan members in Majilis (Lower Chamber of the Parliament) and Maslikhats (regional legislatures) will be extensively involved in councils’ activity. Nur Otan’s public offices and party’s hot lines would be also actively used, according to Gromov.

"All facts of corruption practices will be reported to the police,” he said. Earlier the party announced the “Ten Smashing Blows on Corruption” campaign.
