Kazakh officials publish 2024 income declarations—but gaps remain

Income declarations for 2024 have been made public on government and parliamentary websites. The move aims to increase transparency among officials. However, not all details have been fully disclosed to the public. Serik Zhumangarin confirmed that his own income declaration was published alongside others. He stated that he had complied with the requirements and made his financial details available.

When asked about officials who had not submitted their declarations, Zhumangarin refused to provide names. He explained that he lacked the authority to disclose information about his colleagues. According to him, the responsibility for releasing such data lies elsewhere within the system.

The published declarations are now accessible on official platforms. Zhumangarin’s refusal to name non-compliant officials leaves some questions unanswered. The public can view the available records but may not have a complete picture of all submissions.
