President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has put forward a proposal aimed at enhancing the attractiveness of the civil service by advocating for competitive salaries that align with those offered in the private sector.
Addressing the forum of the presidential youth personnel reserve on February 20, President Tokayev underscored the importance of adequately compensating civil servants for their dedication and commitment to public service, press service of the Presiden of Kazakhstan reported.
He emphasized the relevance of the issue and expressed determination to address it in favor of civil servants, drawing inspiration from the experiences of countries like Singapore.
President Tokayev highlighted the pressing need to address the shortage of skilled specialists in Kazakhstan's government sectors, advocating for the adoption of a hybrid model of public service. He emphasized the importance of exploring avenues for the recruitment of qualified personnel from the private sector into civil service roles, with a focus on fostering a more flexible and less regulated approach to hiring practices.
He underscored the significance of statistics from the Anti-Corruption Agency, which indicate that women demonstrate greater responsibility in their roles within the government apparatus.
Despite women constituting approximately 55% of the country's government apparatus, President Tokayev noted a disparity in their representation among management personnel, which stands at less than 39%. He stressed the need for proactive measures to boost the participation of women, youth, and individuals with disabilities in the public service sector.
President Tokayev also criticized the persistence of "command movements" within the country, directing the Presidential Administration and the Agency for Civil Service Affairs to take stringent measures to curb such practices. He underscored the importance of maintaining strict control and swiftly addressing any instances of non-compliance with established protocols.
