Improvement of the local self-government system in the Republic of Kazakhstan

For Kazakhstan, the development of local self-government is a very relevant issue. This is due to general economic situation in the country, and the system of public administration. Therefore, the State, as well as scientific community, constantly pays attention to the socioeconomic condition and infrastructure of rural areas.

Methods – historical and logical analysis, comparisons and generalizations.

Results – it is shown that one of the important issues is the lack of clear and actually defined functions and powers at the lower levels of government. Based on the study of the experience of local government abroad, it was determined that in solving socio-economic issues it is necessary to endow local governments with sufficient rights and powers. The authors state that the government policy in the field of management at different levels requires the development of a system of local self-government, which must be considered as a method or tool for rational public administration. It is justified that the more powers are exercised, taking into account local conditions and opportunities, the more comprehensively they will meet the interests of the population and management will be more effective.

Conclusions – since the republican, regional and district budgets are an integral part of the general state budget, the distribution of income sources between them should be optimal, and rational. It is also necessary that financial instruments ensure the reduction of interbudgetary flows.
