At the meetings and consultations, the Head of State paid utmost attention to the relevance of observing the law, raising the level of legal awareness and legal culture of the citizens.

Regarding the recent heinous murder of Saltanat Nukenova at one of Astana’s restaurants, the President charged the Ministry of Interior to keep the case under a special control.

“Law is one for all,” stressed the Head of State, adding that a Just Kazakhstan is a country overned by Law and Order.
