‘It is with good reason that the Leader of the Nation, Nursultan Nazarbayev, is considered as the major creator and inspirer of the fundamental reforms in Kazakhstan.

He also highlighted the success of Akmola region.

According to Nurlan Nigmatulin, working on amendments to the Administrative Offenses Code, the MPs followed the President's assignment as they maximized the preventive potential of the current legislation and did not increase the administrative penalties.
