NUR-SULTAN Kazakh President Qasym-Zhomart Toqaev has signed into law a controversial bill regulating the work of attorneys that lawyers have criticized as a move to impose state control over their professional activities.
Under the law that was
approved by the tightly controlled former Soviet republic s parliament in April, all of the Central Asian country s lawyers will become members of a state chamber, pay monthly fees to the state collegium of lawyers, and register with a state-controlled online information system.
Kazakh lawyers had called on Toqaev to veto the bill and return it to parliament, saying that the legislation would deprive them of their independence.
