This Constitutional Law establishes the legal framework governing the Cabinet of Ministers as the highest executive body. It defines the structure of executive authority, which includes the President, the Cabinet of Ministers, ministries, state committees, administrative agencies, and local state administrations. The President heads the executive branch and exercises overall leadership, while the Cabinet operates as a collegial body accountable to the President. The Law sets out fundamental principles of the Cabinet’s activity, such as legality, transparency, accountability, division of powers, and responsibility for implementing state policy in accordance with the Constitution and presidential acts.
The Law details the composition, appointment, and functioning of the Cabinet of Ministers. Members—including the Chairman, deputies, ministers, and heads of state committees—are appointed by the President with the consent of the parliament (Jogorku Kenesh), following clearly defined procedures and timelines. It establishes eligibility requirements, restrictions, and ethical obligations for officials, including prohibitions on holding other positions, engaging in business activities, or having conflicts of interest. The document also regulates the duration of office, resignation procedures, dismissal grounds, guarantees of legal protection, and accountability mechanisms, ensuring that Cabinet members remain responsible both individually and collectively for their functions.
Finally, the Law outlines the broad powers of the Cabinet of Ministers and its internal organization. The Cabinet is responsible for implementing domestic and foreign policy, ensuring enforcement of laws, managing economic, social, and security policies, drafting and executing the state budget, and coordinating public administration across sectors. It adopts binding legal acts, supervises subordinate bodies, and interacts with the Parliament, judiciary, prosecution, and other state institutions, as well as with local governments and civil society. The document also defines procedures for meetings, decision-making, legislative participation, and inter-institutional cooperation, thereby establishing a comprehensive system for the functioning
