A position and a state cannot be a treat - experts for the arrest of the heads of Samrok-Casina and K. C.
Political scientist Ruslan Tosupkov emphasized that previous position and advantages should not become a basis for exemption from responsibility.
- The principle is simple: position, royalty and previous advantages cannot be indulgences. If guilt is proven in court, the state must act decisively and without mercy, regardless of the person's status. The practice of recent years confirms this perfectly. Just this year, the National Security Committee arrested the former chairman of the board of the troubled loan fund, the head of the KTZ car depot and the management of Enbek RSE. Anti-corruption measures in Kazakhstan work at all levels, and the principle of equality before the law works in practice, Tusupkov noted.
In turn, media expert and political scientist Sirim Ikolov, referring to the 2025 audit, noted that the Samrok-Casina fund group included 326 companies, 23 of which were inactive, and the inefficient use of funds was estimated at 122.2 billion tenge.
- Six floors of management, and the money is still spent inefficiently. And the arrests of leaders at this level themselves are consistent with the "law and order" policy announced by the president. Kasem-Jumart Tokayev said directly: "Everyone is equal before the law." And in an interview in January, he emphasized separately that the fight against corruption should reach the organizers of criminal plots. That is, whoever stole should be punished, and what was stolen should be returned to the state. No waivers of previous position, connections or benefits. No matter who you are and what your status is. Otherwise, the habit of treating a high chair as protection from liability is costing us too much," the political scientist wrote on Telegram.
