As Minister of Internal Affairs Akhmetzhanov noted, the department is aimed at strict suppression of corruption in the internal affairs bodies.
In turn, the head of the Anti-Corruption Service, Bektenov, supported the initiative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Police officers are in close contact with the population and therefore are most susceptible to corruption. The head of state spoke about its eradication more than once.
In addition, the police intend to carry out the Integrity check. This measure has been successfully implemented in many countries.
In Kazakhstan, it is envisaged as part of the implementation of the Concept of Anti-Corruption Policy for 2022-2026.
The agency is currently developing a legal framework.
