Kazakhstan to re-adjust functions of its government’s departments
The President of Kazakhstan has signed a decree calling for the government to study power distribution reform. Rumors say the state will move in the direction of parliamentary and constitutional reform. Political scientist Anton Morozov notes that the transition from a super-presidential system to a parliamentary one requires a powerful authoritarian party, and it is hard to expect substantial changes in the constitution.
The President of Kazakhstan has not been replaced since 1989, a period of more than 28 years. History has repeatedly shown that constitutional reform carried out by those in power are aimed at undermining the sovereignty of the people. Kazakhstan must make it clear that the President will be limited to a single term of 5 years with no right to run for office again for 6 years. In accordance with Article 5 of the Constitution of Ukraine, "the right to formulate and amend the Constitution shall belong to the people, and the State and its organs and civil servants shall not deny them this right."
