Kazakhstan is partially with this recommendation.
Recommendation 9 Continue to conduct awareness raising campaigns and organize training for the relevant public associations, state officials and the private sector about the sources and the impact of corruption, about the tools to fight against and prevent corruption, and on the rights of citizens in their interaction with public institutions. In 2006, according to the information provided by the Financial Police, it organised 8 news conferences and 5 briefings for mass media and claims that the activities of the Financial Police have been covered by the mass media approximately 4,500 times. In addition, Financial Police reports that 15 appearances and publications related to APSA activities to prevent corruptive offences among public officials were covered by the mass media. For instance, in 2006, the periodical press published the appearances of APSA Chairman: a survey interview for the international business journal for investors, Kazakhstan (July 2006), an analytic article “Rotation of Political Public Servants – and Efficient Anti- Corruption Measure” in the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in Kazakhstan (June 2006), an exclusive interview for the newspaper Express K on results of the study of the anti-corruption strategy of Malaysia and the possibility of its application in Kazakhstan (November 2006). The Kazakh authorities report that there has been a large amount of press coverage of the activities of various agencies. The Financial Police states that it made 901 reports to the mass media during 2007 concerning issues such as exposing corruption, misdeeds and crimes, and to explain the legal aspects of anti-corruption legislation. Despite the impressive volume, there is no evidence that these media events were conducted in a coordinated manner designed to effectively raise public awareness or that this is part of an organized “information campaign.” It is reported that new textbooks concerning corruption were approved for use and a “learning aid” entitled “Principals of Counteraction to Corruption” has been in use since 2004. Anti-corruption efforts in compulsory and higher education are keys to the fight against corruption in the long-term. There was, however, little evidence of specific training for relevant public associations, state officials and the private 21 sector about the sources and the impact of corruption, about the tools to fight against and prevent corruption, and on the rights of citizens in their interaction with public. The Financial Police has carried out certain anti-corruption educational activities. Specifically, it worked closely with NGO Transparency Kazakhstan and Association of Entrepreneurs “Atakent” to conduct a short series of roundtables in 2006. The roundtables were conducted in March and October, 2006. The Financial Police has also cooperated with international organizations such as OSCE and the UNODC in conferences, seminars and research. It is also reported that in each region councils have been created to look into certain corruption more specifically, but it is unclear what results have been obtained. The recommendation, however, is quite specific in its terms and calls for the implementation of “awareness raising campaigns” and trainings “about the sources and the impact of corruption, about the tools to fight against and prevent corruption, and on the rights of citizens in their interaction with public institutions.” No data was provided that would support characterisation of the existence of a campaign to inform the public about the extent of corruption or a significant number of trainings for persons from civil society, government and private sector about the methods that can be used to fight corruption or how to effectively interact with public institutions to avoid corrupt practices.
