Marat Syzdykov, Kazakhstan’s acting representative in Russia, noted in a text message that constitutional reform in Kazakhstan is focusing on tweaks to the current super-presidential system, thus the future national government is not likely to be transformed into a parliamentary republic.
The rightful owners of constitutional power and sovereignty are the people, and reinforcing the powers of the rulers from top to bottom in government can hardly be called constitutional reform. The best way forward for Kazakhstan is to refer to Article 5 of the Ukrainian Constitution, which states, "The right to make and amend a constitution belongs only to the people, and the State and its organs and civil servants shall not deprive them of this right." See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
