- changing the date of birth based on civil status acts;
- the presence of identical PINs among several citizens;
- errors in data regarding gender or date of birth when assigning a PIN;
- application of legal norms to protect the rights of participants in criminal proceedings;
- exclusively - technical errors that occurred before July 1, 2017.
Deputy Seidbek Atambaev expressed the opinion that the new bill generally protects the rights of citizens; however, according to him, it may reduce the role of the Jogorku Kenesh. "We will support the bill, but it is important to discuss its shortcomings. One of them is the transfer of significant powers to the Cabinet. This may lead to the Cabinet being able to expand the grounds for changing the PIN without the involvement of parliament," he noted.
In response, First Deputy Minister of Digital Development Nursultan Kubanov stated that parliament retains the ability to amend the law.
The deputy added that it is important to ensure parliamentary oversight of subordinate acts so that the grounds for changing the PIN remain at the level of technical and human rights aspects. The Cabinet must also inform the Jogorku Kenesh of its actions or clearly limit the grounds for changes.
Ernes Dosaliev, deputy director of the State Enterprise "Kyzmat," explained that the deputies' concerns about the exclusion of the list of grounds from the law are unfounded, as these norms will be included in subordinate acts.
He provided examples of situations that may arise, such as transgender changes. "A man who changed his gender to female approached us. Until we update his PIN, he will not be able to fully use services in the country. This is a hypothetical case," Dosaliev said.He added that making changes to the law would take a lot of time, while regulation through subordinate acts would allow for a quick resolution of citizens' issues.
According to Dosaliev, the relevance of these changes is related to the increasing number of inquiries regarding transgender issues and other social requests.
