Kazakhstan to Launch a Digital Platform for Parliament

Tokayev instructed the creation of the e-Parliament information system to support lawmakers in their legislative work.

Key points:

• The platform will bring digital services together within a single ecosystem and identify legal risks at the stage of drafting legislation.
• The system is to be implemented as soon as possible, with relevant government bodies working jointly with members of Parliament.
• Tokayev emphasized that technology will not replace legal expertise but will help improve the productivity of analytical work.

The digitalization of parliamentary work may accelerate the legislative process and make it more transparent. For businesses, this means an opportunity to identify potential legal risks in new draft laws at an early stage.
