Not everyone succeeded - President spoke about young ministers who worked in the government

Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has candidly admitted that not every young person appointed to high government office has met expectations. Speaking ahead of parliamentary elections, Tokayev emphasized the nation's commitment to empowering its youth, despite acknowledging that some younger ministers and officials have "failed to meet the tasks assigned to them."

"We place our trust in young representatives, appointing them to various positions," Tokayev stated. "Of course, I cannot claim that every young person who has held a high government office has proven themselves effectively. They face various obstacles and circumstances in their work. Nevertheless, we must believe in the youth and entrust them with appropriate responsibility."

The President highlighted Kazakhstan's demographic profile, noting that the nation is young, which fuels high hopes for its younger generation. He urged the new generation to recognize this potential and responsibility. "Because it must be admitted that some young personnel appointed as ministers or serving in the government failed to meet the tasks assigned to them. We must not allow this to happen in the future," he added.

Tokayev's comments came as Kazakhstan prepared for elections to its new unicameral Parliament, the Kurultai. This legislative body replaces the former bicameral Parliament. Seven parties are competing for the 145 seats in the Kurultai, with an "Against All" option also available on the ballot. These elections mark the first parliamentary elections since the adoption of a new constitution.
