The Special Monitoring Group on anti-corruption strategy of the Agency for Civil Service and Anti-Corruption Affairs accounted on their work at a press conference at the CCS.

"In total, 108 state agencies and organizations in the field of population migration, health care, state revenues, land relations, public services and PSC have been audited, with 138 recommendations given for removing administrative barriers and improving the quality of public services," said Olzhas Bektenov, the ant-corruption Agency’s deputy chairman.

According to him, more than 100 state bodies, organizations and about 60 subjects of the quasi-public sector were visited in 2 months, involving more than 90 000 people.

A special monitoring group, composed of representatives of civil society, traveled to all the regions of the country to assess implementation of the Anti-Corruption Strategy, Aigul Solovyeva, head of the special monitoring group, informed.

According to her, in many regions it is necessary to increase transparency of the state apparatus and public services quality.

"Lack of free access to information on the number of vacant land plots, sums allocated for repair and construction of roads, social facilities, etc. were revealed. Besides, there are no information signs on telephone hotlines and call center, and work is insufficient on the conducted public hearings," she commented.
