“One of the six representations led to a disciplinary sanction against one of the employees. Three workers were dismissed, and two cases are currently under consideration,” Junusov specified.

The prosecutor emphasized that according to the Constitutional Law on the elections of the president and deputies of the Jogorku Kenesh, the interference of state and municipal officials, as well as employees of budget-funded organizations, in campaigning activities in support of candidates is strictly prohibited.
