President Nazarbayev received Chairman of Agency for Civil Service Affairs A.Baimenov
A.Baimenov informed the President of the results of the Agency's activity and its territorial administrations over 2011, measures on improvement of the Agency's activity, amendments to legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on civil service and other issues within implementation of the Concept of a new model of civil service as well as international cooperation in further reforming of civil service in Kazakhstan.
The Head of State gave specific instructions on improvement of effectiveness of the Agency for Civil Service Affairs and the Concept of a new model of civil service.
"Over 20 years of independence the model of civil service recognized at the international level was formed in Kazakhstan. The World Bank recognized Kazakhstan as a regional leader on conducting reforms in the sphere of civil service. The UNDP proposed to establish a regional hub of CIS countries in Kazakhstan and use the Kazakh model of civil service. This international organization offered to organize a global conference on civil service modernization in Astana in 2013. The Concept of a new model of civil service is a new stage of reform and modernization of public service," A. Baimenov said.
"It is necessary to introduce new Concept in time. Public officials should be closer to the people. Yesterday I was in Mangystau. Such problems occurred there due to the fact that some public servants did not defer to the people's opinion. The Kazakh public servants should work for the benefit of our nation," the President said.
