Project: Advisory Council for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' and Investors' Rights under the General Prosecutor's Office
Position: Member and initiator of the council on behalf of the business community
As an entrepreneur herself for more than 15 years, Nazira Beishenalieva was always concerned about protecting the business sector at the governmental level, therefore she became the initiator of the Advisory Council for the Protection of Entrepreneurs and Investors' Rights under the General Prosecutor's Office(СС).
The purpose of the CC is to build a sustainable effective
mechanism of interaction between state bodies, local authorities
with representatives of civil society and the business community to
organize and unite efforts to protect the rights of entrepreneurs and
investors. Also preventing violations of constitutional guarantees for
the freedom of economic activity by creating an appropriate legal
framework.
The Council was created together with the General Prosecutor's
Office because only this body can supervise the exact and uniform
implementation of normative legal acts on the territory of the
country. In practice it means that the law should be applied equally to all market participants, not selectively.
Also, the prosecutor's office can make a protest against a normative legal act, which contradicts another normative legal act, which has higher legal force.
Through the council, the business community would like to
establish direct contact in order to promptly and directly report cases of violations of the rights of entrepreneurs to the Prosecutor
General's Office
