- In his speech on January 14, 2026, Marlen Mamataliyev emphasized that a certificate of no criminal record is required to obtain a taxi license.

He highlighted the need to reduce the level of bureaucracy.

“What is the reason for introducing such a norm? Why is a person, even if they have a criminal record, deprived of the opportunity to obtain a license? How are they supposed to earn a living?” he asked.

In response, Deputy Minister of Economy Choro Seitov stated that he did not have the necessary information on this issue and suggested providing a written response later.

At that moment, the draft law "On Amendments to the Law on State and Municipal Services" was being discussed in its first reading.
