Kazakhstan enjoying law and order: President Tokayev
Astana, The Gulf Observer: Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, yesterday held meetings and consultations with Interior Minister Yerzhan sadenov, Prosecutor General Berik Assylov, Supreme Court Chairman Asslambek Mergaliyev, as well as the heads of other relevant agencies, according to media reports.
The President drew special attention to the issue of ensuring the rule of law, increasing the legal consciousness and legal culture of the citizens.
According to Tokayev, the law-and-order principle needs to become a distinctive ideological and political guide for the Kazakhstani society. The country needs to have a zero-tolerance attitude toward any violation of the Law and Order, including domestic violence, vandalism, rudeness, and hooliganism. Any violence against women and children needs to be strongly discouraged, said the Kazakh President.
The law needs to be equal for everyone. Justice in the society is the citizens’ solidarity toward greater rule of law. Just Kazakhstan is the country enjoying the law and order, said the Kazakh President.
It’s worth noting that in his state-of-the-nation address ‘Economic course of Just Kazakhstan’, the Head of State increasing legal culture is the key condition for building Just Kazakhstan.
All provocations aimed at disrupt the public order need to be severely suppressed. Unfortunately, the law enforcement bodies and governors of the regions fail to carry out this work at the proper level, not ensuring the rule of law. As a result, the society repeatedly experiences intolerable situations. Vandalism on streets and in nature, lack of discipline, culture of some of our citizens, various domestic conflicts negatively affect the image of our country at the international arena. I say once again that our main goal is to ensure the law and public order is observed. We look forward to becoming part of the open modern world promoting culture, education and science, the Kazakh President said in his address.
