Building a Just Kazakhstan: President Tokayev's Vision for the Future

in Politics / Kazakhstan - by


Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, during the third session of the National Council on March 15, voiced his main mission as the head of state. He emphasized that justice and responsibility are fundamental values that serve as the moral compass of the state and society, necessary for achieving social equality, peace, and harmony.

"As the head of state, I see my main mission as building a Just Kazakhstan. I have been guided by the fundamental principles of justice since the first days of my presidency. This idea received a comprehensive conceptual framework in the September Address of 2022. In this regard, I hear opinions that the use of the concept of 'justice' in political rhetoric and practice supposedly carries certain risks, creating excessive expectations and increasing demands on the government. I believe this is a simplistic understanding and interpretation of justice as primarily equal distribution of goods and resources. At the same time, in my deep conviction, justice is above all about equal distribution of rights and responsibilities," said Tokayev.

According to him, justice and responsibility are inseparable concepts because justice cannot exist without responsibility. Responsible attitude towards one's work and duties is a necessary condition for the success of every citizen and the entire nation. This is where the power of justice lies, concluded the president.

During his speech, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev addressed affluent Kazakhs, urging them to build not only mosques.
