On October 1, a
meeting on the topic “The Role of the New Constitution in Kazakhstan’s Future
Institutional Architecture” was held at Karaganda Industrial University.
The meeting was
addressed by renowned Kazakhstani legal scholar Yerkin Anuarovich Ongarbayev —
Doctor of Law, Professor, Honorary Academician of the National Academy of
Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Honorary Lawyer of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, and recipient of the Orders of “Құрмет”, “Парасат” and “Барыс”.
During the meeting,
participants discussed the significance of constitutional reforms for the
country’s further development, strengthening legal institutions, protecting
citizens’ rights, and increasing the responsibility of state bodies. Particular
attention was paid to how amendments to the Basic Law may affect the governance
system, public relations, and interaction between the state and citizens.
Yerkin Ongarbayev
explained complex legal issues in accessible language and shared his
professional perspective on the formation of Kazakhstan’s future institutional
system. Participants were able to ask questions and discuss the role of young
people in building a legal and just state.
The event continued
the university’s work on legal education and the development of an
anti-corruption culture, which KarIU carries out in cooperation with the
Republican Public Association “National Movement Against Corruption ‘Zhanaru’”.
Such cooperation helps familiarize students with the principles of legality,
integrity, openness, and civic responsibility.
The meeting became a
platform for a meaningful discussion about the country’s future and allowed
participants to better understand why the Constitution defines not only the
structure of the state, but also the rights, opportunities, and
responsibilities of every citizen.
