KNB head Amangeldy SHABDARBAYEV:
SCANDALOUS CORRUPTION CASES STEM FROM KNB'S ANTICORRUPTION EFFORT, NOT POLITICAL
GAMES
- The Kazatomprom case provoked a massive public response. As far as everybody knows, initially the issue about violations in Kazatomprom activities was raised a couple of years ago, however, criminal charges were brought only this May. That may cast doubts on the motive behind this case...
- There are no undercurrents, let alone political motivation
behind the case.
The case was launched on the officially pressed charges,
on the basis of solid evidences, and only after the thorough examination
of all materials by the prosecutor general's office (PGO) and other security
agencies.
I am as a KNB head have no right to intervene in the
course of the investigation, which is being overseen by the PGO.
