Here are some measures that Kazakhstan and Germany have taken to fight corruption

Some measures taken by Kazakhstan

Anti-corruption legislation: Kazakhstan has enacted several anti-corruption laws, including the
Law on Combating Corruption and the Law on Public Service. These laws provide a framework
for preventing and combating corruption in the country.
Anti-corruption agencies: Kazakhstan has established several anti-corruption agencies, including
the Anti-Corruption Agency, the Financial Monitoring Committee, and the General Prosecutor's
Office. These agencies are responsible for investigating and prosecuting corruption cases.
Whistleblower protection: Kazakhstan has enacted a law to protect whistleblowers who report
corruption. This law provides protection to individuals who report corruption from retaliation,
discrimination, or harassment.
Germany:
Transparency and disclosure: Germany has implemented several measures to increase
transparency and disclosure in public institutions. For example, the country has established a
Freedom of Information Act, which allows citizens to access government documents.
Anti-corruption agencies: Germany has established several agencies to combat corruption,
including the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection and the Federal Office of
Administration. These agencies are responsible for investigating and prosecuting corruption
cases.
Political financing: Germany has implemented strict regulations on political financing to prevent
corruption. Political parties are required to disclose their sources of funding, and there are limits
on the amount of money that can be donated to political parties.
In general, both Kazakhstan and Germany have taken measures to combat corruption in their
respective countries. However, Germany has generally been viewed as having a lower level of
corruption compared to Kazakhstan.

Sure, here are some political interpretations on how Kazakhstan can learn from German policy to
avoid corruption and promote transparency:
Strengthening Anti-Corruption Agencies: Kazakhstan could learn from Germany's example of
creating independent anti-corruption agencies with the power to investigate and prosecute cases
of corruption. Such agencies could be given greater autonomy and resources to ensure they are
effective in their efforts to combat corruption.
Promoting Transparency and Openness: Kazakhstan could also learn from Germany's approach
to promoting transparency and openness in government institutions. This could include
implementing laws and policies that require greater disclosure of information and provide
citizens with easier access to government documents and data.
Ensuring Independent Oversight: To avoid corruption, Kazakhstan could establish independent
oversight mechanisms to monitor government activities and ensure that public officials are held
accountable for their actions. This could include establishing an independent ombudsman or
inspector general who can investigate complaints and report findings to the public.
Encouraging Public Participation: Germany has a strong tradition of public participation in
decision-making processes, which can help to promote transparency and accountability.
Kazakhstan could learn from this by providing greater opportunities for public input in
government decision-making processes, and by creating channels for citizens to report cases of
corruption and hold officials accountable.
Overall, by learning from the German example and adopting measures to promote transparency,
accountability, and public participation, Kazakhstan can take important steps to prevent
corruption and build a more democratic and accountable government.

If conclude our presentation we presented corruption as a widespread problem that


can occur in various forms, such as public officials demanding bribes in exchange
for services or companies bribing officials to obtain lucrative contracts. The focus
is on two countries: Kazakhstan and Germany. While Kazakhstan is described as
having a serious and systemic corruption problem, Germany is viewed as having a
lower level of corruption. We suggested that Kazakhstan could learn from German
policy to avoid corruption and promote transparency by ensuring independent
oversight, encouraging public participation, and promoting transparency and
openness.
