Abstract

This paper examines the institution of anti-corruption examination of normative legal acts in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Uzbekistan through the lens of comparative legal analysis. The study begins with a review of the evolution of national legislation in both countries concerning the development of anti-corruption examination. Although the trajectories of legislative development in this area differ significantly, they also reveal certain similarities.

Particular attention in this research is devoted to the issues of transparency, professional ethics, and accountability in the process of anti-corruption examination. The central question is whether such examination genuinely influences the level of corruption in both countries or whether it functions merely as a formality.

The comparative analysis has demonstrated both convergences and divergences in the approaches of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to implementing anti-corruption examination, reflecting broader trends in the legal development of the post-Soviet space.

The findings suggest that strengthening the legal framework, improving the professional training of examiners, and ensuring political will are essential for enhancing the effectiveness of anti-corruption examination. The contribution of this paper lies in broadening the understanding of how preventive legal instruments can promote transparency and good governance in transitional societies.
