President launches “Ten Smashing Blows Against Corruption”
Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev called on Nur Otan Party members to fight corruption more vigorously, the Embassy of Kazakhstan reports with reference to the Interfax-Kazakhstan news agency.
“The party’s regional branches should initiate specific anticorruption programs. Ad hoc committees established by regional and city branches should include well known public figures and consider complaints about bribery and embezzlement of state property,” the President told a meeting of the party’s political council in Astana.
“The party should make demands to dismiss dishonest officials from office and punish them” he added.
According to President Nazarbayev, some officials are doing very well by combining official duties and their own business.
The party will develop a program called “Ten Smashing Blows Against Corruption,” the President said.
Nur Otan led by President Nazarbayev is the largest political party in Kazakhstan.
There are ten political parties in Kazakhstan.
