Prosecutor's Office strengthens work to protect investors

 A meeting chaired by First Deputy Prosecutor General Жандос Өмірәлиев was held to discuss the protection of investors’ rights and the introduction of unified approaches to supporting investment projects, according to Expressnews.kz.

The discussion was attended by Chairman of the Committee for the Protection of Investors’ Rights Бауыржан Ералы, Deputy Chairman of the Investment Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Арман Ақсубаев, Managing Director of Kazakh Invest Әлжан Естемесов, as well as regional prosecutors and representatives of local executive bodies via videoconference.

The meeting addressed the provision of high-quality legal support for investment projects at all stages — from the investor’s initial application to the commissioning of the facility — as well as the timely inclusion of projects in the investor registry.

Special attention was given to monitoring decisions of state bodies through the “prosecutorial filter” mechanism, pre-trial dispute resolution, and the elimination of systemic administrative barriers, including land allocation, obtaining technical specifications, and connection to infrastructure.

Zhandos Umeraliyev emphasized the importance of coordinated work among all government agencies.

“Our main task is to establish clear and systematic actions by all state bodies when supporting investment projects. At every stage of project implementation, the role and area of responsibility of each participant must be clearly defined,” he said.

To ensure a unified and clear procedure for regional prosecutors, a methodology for supporting investors has been developed. It establishes a step-by-step work algorithm, coordination mechanisms, and a list of response tools.

Baurzhan Yeraly noted that the methodology is aimed at preventing risks and a formalistic approach in the implementation of investment projects.
