Prime Minister Karim Masimov announced the other day that he is setting up a new section on his blog to rate the effectiveness of government workers. It isn’t clear exactly what role the blog will play in this or what he will put up, but as of yet the transparency section, as Masimov is calling it is only hosting the usual direct transcripts of government policies like Kazakhstan 2030 and news articles about programs initiated by the Prime Minister.

I’m hoping this might a sort of public forum where civil servants and government agencies that don’t perform well will be outed publicly and information about what is being done to make the government more open and transparent will be posted.
