All of us need to ensure the practical implementation of the reforms of the President supported by the people," said Maulen Ashimbayev.

The Chairman of the Senate also stressed the importance of increasing the efficiency of spending public funds.

He also reminded that one of the important issues facing the country is to increase the level of development of the regions.

"It is necessary to strengthen the work in the regions in terms of modernization of infrastructure, construction of social facilities, generating permanent jobs, improving the welfare of citizens. As you know, under the constitutional reform, the Senate became the key institution to consider regional issues. In this direction, we hope for joint and fruitful work together with the Government," – said Maulen Ashimbayev.

Note that the final consideration of the report on the execution of the budget for 2021 will be held at a joint session of the House of Parliament, which will be held on June 20, 2022.
