Corruption as a social phenomenon continues to exist in modern times practically in all countries of the world regardless of political differences, especially in China and Kazakhstan, where it manifests itself in many forms. Corruption distorts the process of social and economic development, hinders the growth of the real economy, attracts investments. Negatively affects political and public institutions of democratic governance, creating a serious threat to the development of the country. The choice of corruption is primarily due to one of the main priorities of state policy in Kazakhstan.

At the center of the formation of anti-corruption worldview among university students after the start of the work of the "Clean Session" club. The main idea of the club is to strengthen the anti-corruption legal framework, support corruption prevention, raise awareness of corruption issues, establish anti-corruption discipline among students, and promote the development of anti-corruption values. The club also aims to create a legal environment for students' free expression, a path to the formation of a responsible and active youth, advocates of anti-corruption legislation and moral norms. The main theme of the club is related to the approach to bureaucratic apparatus and political elite. The club's activity has a broader meaning and is not limited to the first definition of the term.

It is important to understand that the values and principles formed in life do not depend on the political preferences of any group.

Corruption is harmful to society!

A society free from corruption is better!

Terminology

The term Corruption originates from the Latin word "soggitrege" meaning "disruption of the organization of state, public relations," where the root "podkup" — a term denoting the illegal use of one's official powers and additional rights for personal gain, bribery, extortion, protection, privileges, abuse of official authority and moral norms. The main meaning of the term refers to the bureaucratic apparatus and political elite. The term has a broader meaning and is not limited to the first definition.

The President of Kazakhstan, speaking about the fight against corruption, unequivocally stated that without the participation of society it is impossible to defeat corruption.

You, society, bear responsibility for solving all problems, including corruption. You have a special interest in fighting corruption. In society, two main parts are distinguished — the law and the political sector. As a rule, the main part of the law is the main life core of the country. The level of society's general culture is determined by the degree of knowledge and control over our society, revealing and preventing corruption in the state bodies, which is the main indicator of the level of society's culture. For the fight against corruption, systemic solutions in all spheres of society are necessary.

Corruption Classification

The Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan "Zero tolerance for corruption" gives the following definition of corruption — "...an illegal act of giving or receiving money or other property, directly or through intermediaries, by state officials, as well as by citizens, directly related to the performance of their official duties."

International legal definition of corruption, used in UN documents, is as follows: corruption is

the abuse of public power for personal gain in the form of money, goods, services, or other benefits.

If corruption is spoken of in the broad sense, it means the use of official position in the interests of a group of people. One of the definitions of corruption is bribery.

What is such a loan? It is a loan obtained for a long term from another person, a legal entity or their branches, for which certain conditions are set. These conditions include the term and amount of the loan, not always received from an individual borrower, because they can be provided by legal entities or subsidiary organizations. A loan can be:

Advances are funds in the form of cash, bank checks, and cash bonds, issued from cash registers and cash desks, cars, warehouses, shops, and warehouses, production workshops, other goods, land plots, and other assets.

Services and outputs are wages, rental and contractual work, sanitary and tourist routes, travel expenses, payment for repairs and other expenses without cash or on a cash basis.

Why is the correction made this way?

Many factors affect the loan and its correctness, but in any case, the main thing for oneself is:

"What is this whole fuss about? Well, I explained it in more detail, so I wrote this text without any problems, even with a little excitement."

"I bought a diploma, I signed up for the next job." What is the point of this?

In essence, this is not only a "fuss", but also a reason for each, such as the validity of the contract, if it is invalid, it can deprive a person of the right to claim and appeal.

Let's try. We have quite a few analogies. One of them is the state ownership contract, we assume that it reflects the reality of social relations: free disposal, ownership, creation of infrastructure, free disposal.

What is the procedure when determining the state-owned assets according to the correction scheme?

Example: The state organization includes a contract for

the lease of a residential building. During the contract conclusion, the state service provider was aware that the contract was signed by persons who were in "hostile intentions". One of the parties to the contract will not be able to work with the property. For example, a form called "Dobro" was obtained, which reduces the quality of work and the use of materials, and as a result, their quality decreases. In general, everything is sad.

It does not mean that the correction only applies to the state, but it does not guarantee the result! Today in the correction scheme, it is clear who can give more. But it is sad that the state correction day inevitably leads to the loss of the created property and its legal, deformed appearance.

The actual burden of these social obligations is borne by the owner of the property

• the correction leads to serious violations of constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens;

• subsections of corporate presentations that correctly convey a broad public message;

• explicitly intellectual aspects of communication; this phenomenon refers to various forms that are not visualized and verbalized;

• general material and moral background that accompanies this day;

• essential latency — the totality of all data, or rather, representative documents about this phenomenon, as well as many other sources preceding the main evidence, and the list of real evidence is called the real evidence list;

• corruption is not only a secret, but also an agreed-upon characteristic of communication, which, as a rule, is not included in the collection of laws, just as legal stories imply an implicit exit from an illegal act;

• corruption actions are usually considered within the framework of specific and confidential types of state activity where unofficial trust is established;

• corruption usually disguises a state apparatus, hiding its authority;

• the phenomenon is characterized by rapid spread in state structures;

• in fact, all existing laws on the general public statements of corporate presentations can be considered as an object of the presentation day of corporate legal evidence.

The presented example is not considered a counting one, but it also indicates that the name itself reflects the necessity of working with theoretical political concepts, as well as in the subsequent practical work on corruption. However, before moving to the positive as some kind of negative phenomenon, it is necessary to briefly and concretely outline, based on the principles and mechanisms of this phenomenon.

Is corruption possible?

In the modern world, the work on combating corruption is imperfect and post-Soviet. There is no unified selection of methods to combat corruption, which is optimal for all countries. The selection of methods to combat corruption, taking into account each country's history, culture, and traditions, is not only about political and economic stability but also about the influence of religious beliefs and the level of legal culture, as well as the influence of the occupied territory.

In the conditions of modernization of economic and social relations in Kazakhstan, the problem of corruption has become much more acute in the context of the anti-corruption strategy, closely linked with the Soviet socio-economic policy of the state.

In connection with this, on December 26, 2014, a new Anti-Corruption Strategy of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2015-2025 was approved.

The goal of the Strategy is to increase the effectiveness of the state's anti-corruption policy, involving an anti-corruption dialogue of all society through the creation of the "zero" tolerance atmosphere towards corruption and reducing corruption levels in Kazakhstan.

Key guidelines for corporate governance, defined by the Strategy, are:

• corporate governance principles in the public service sector;

• institutional control;

• corporate governance principles in the quasi-public and private sectors;

• corporate governance prerequisites in legal and judicial bodies;

• formation of an anti-corruption culture;

• interaction between the state community on corporate governance issues.

Within the framework of the provided data, new laws will be developed and adopted: “On Corporate Governance,” “On Public Control,” “On Access to Public Information,” which will allow monitoring the implementation of “corporate governance” and ensure clear differentiation between corporate governance principles, create and implement a system of state control in public administration, and ensure public access to government information.

Government bodies are fully responsible for anti-corruption activities. 

From the first days of our State Head's reign, it has been emphasized that among all nations there is one goal — the prosperity of the Kazakhstani people, and one objective — the prosperity of our Homeland. Since then, the prosperity of our nation and stability in the country have become the driving force of the economy and the main focus of government efforts.

After the President's visit to Kazakhstan, a clear line of tasks was set, aimed at improving corporate governance and selecting from the goals of the administrative reform system — strengthening the state governance system. The Head of State outlined the main program tasks related to corporate governance. These tasks include control functions of government bodies, ensuring control and transparency of their work, and strengthening government responsibility in the economy and business.

The main priority of the Head of State is the fight against corruption. The Head of State has given data on the fight against corruption and the implementation of anti-corruption policy.

Following the creation of a new organization,

he has accumulated experience in addressing issues of state service and corporate governance principles.

The agenda for government service and corporate governance issues is an unprecedentedly important task for the President of the country, ensuring the strengthening of government authority and public trust in the effective realization of government service, where politics and corruption issues are closely linked.

According to the generally accepted definition, the work of a new anti-corruption body became an increase in the quality of state institutions, just as a few decades ago the quality of governance improved with state bodies associated with the rule of law.

The rule of law consists of:

• the rule of all before the law and the court;

• the observance of the four principles of the rule of law: legality of state bodies, legality and transparency of their actions, state and public control over them;

• priority of the rights and freedoms of physical and legal persons, as well as social-economic, political-legal, organizational and managerial systems of state power;

• establishment of norms of law and legal interests of physical and legal persons, protection of legal rights and legitimate interests of corruption victims;

• observance of legal certainty and protection of citizens' rights, including those associated with corruption offenses;

• guarantees by the state of law and legal interests of citizens, comprehensive support of state functions, and legal, priority control and supervision over their implementation (daily monitoring) and laws, including the legal life of the country and its social living environment;

• inadmissibility of illegal actions by state regulatory bodies against physical and legal persons, as well as control and supervision over them;
