Declaring the first session of the Parliament of the VIII convocation open, the Head of Kazakhstan wished success to the elected deputies.

In his speech, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev touched upon the main changes in the socio-political life of the country over the past 2022.

“After the referendum, guided by the requirements of the updated Constitution, we started a large-scale transformation of all government institutions. This also meets the aspirations of all Kazakhstanis. In accordance with the amendments to the Constitution, presidential elections were held, as well as elections to the Senate, Majilis and maslikhats (local representative bodies). In less than a year, five electoral campaigns have been held, including a referendum. All of them fell at a very crucial period. Despite all the difficulties, we were able to pass the most important stage in the life of the country in a short time,” – K.Tokayev.

The Kazakhstani President called on the newly elected deputies to work together in the interests of the country and said that the course of transformation will continue.

The President focused on the main priorities of the state and shared his vision of the future work of the Parliament. In particular, the Head of state called for stimulating business activity, unlocking the country’s industrial potential, reviewing approaches to infrastructure development, paying special attention to ensuring food security, improving the quality of human capital, supporting socially vulnerable categories of citizens, strengthening the human rights protection system, improving the efficiency of public administration and the quality of strategic planning.

At the end of his speech, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that as a result of the reforms, the powers of deputies have expanded, as well as changes have been made to the work of both chambers. According to him, the bill was previously considered by the Senate after approval by the Majilis. Now the right to adopt laws has been transferred to the Majilis. Thus, the supreme representative body has become a truly influential Parliament.
