"In order to strengthen our statehood I put forward five institutional reforms. One of the most important goals is to make the corps of government officials as professional and autonomous as possible," President Nazarbayev said at the 16th Congress of the Nur Otan Party in Astana. "Elections, appointments of ministers, governors, akims and other officials should not affect the day-to-day functioning of the administrative service," the Kazakh leader added.
