On November 13, 2026, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev chaired an emergency meeting of the Security Council. The meeting focused on the development of the transport and logistics sector and corruption-related issues in state-owned companies.

During the meeting, the President addressed the detention of senior executives of the Samruk-Kazyna National Welfare Fund and Kazakhstan Temir Zholy (KTZ) on suspicion of corruption-related offences. Tokayev described the situation as a serious challenge for the state sector.

The President instructed the Government and relevant supervisory bodies to submit proposals by November 24 aimed at reducing corruption offences in the quasi-public sector and improving the performance of state-owned companies. He also stressed that the operations of Samruk-Kazyna and other state-owned companies, including Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, must continue without interruption.

In addition, Tokayev announced the establishment of a special state commission to oversee the effective use of public funds. Its membership is expected to be announced early next week.
