Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the Government to deal with the construction of a new building of the Nur-Sultan’s Police Department.
President Tokayev noted the low level of salaries in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has persisted for many years. In this regard, he announced his order to the Government to increase the salaries of law enforcement officers by 30% within 3 years.
The Head of State outlined comprehensive support of the staff as one of the main tasks. He reminded that more than 15 billion tenge is allocated annually for housing compensation for law enforcement officers. From January 1, 2020, an additional 10 billion tenge will be allocated for these purposes, so this support measure will cover employees of duty stations, guard services, specialized security organizations, departmental educational institutions and the criminal enforcement system, a total of more than 8 thousand people.
"Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed the Government to address the issue of building a new building for the capital's police department," the statement said on Thursday following Tokayev's participation in an expanded meeting of the collegium of the Kazakh Interior Ministry.
