have a fresh view on a situation and find solutions to problems.

against corruption. He reported that 31 people had been appointed in
2011 and 47 in 2010 using the rotation mechanism. 194 chiefs were
appointed, 170 of them are at territorial structures of the Interior
Ministry, 6 – at education and scientific centers. 143 officers failed
to undergo evaluation and take their posts as chiefs again.

employment, Nurgaliyev said.
