Abstract
One of the biggest problems of developing countries, including Kazakhstan, is corruption. Corruption significantly decelerates the development of economic and social institutions, which may cause distrust in the authorities and a social crisis. Therefore, fighting corruption is a top-priority task of the government of Kazakhstan; this task consists in forming an effective anti-corruption system with the involvement of the general public and a legislative reform. The research analyzes the corruption countermeasures in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This includes a critical study on the legal regulation of the detection of corruption. In addition, the research found new forms of this phenomenon (influence abuse and illicit enrichment), which the research offers to criminalize in the criminal law, studied the issues related to the improvement of the penalty system for acts of corruption, and investigated the practice of penalty infliction and property confiscation. The research paid special attention to public participation in the fight against corruption.
Keywords: influence abuse, illicit enrichment, criminal penalty, property confiscation, public versus corruption
