First Televised Public Forum on Bribery and Corruption in Legal Education
in Kazakhstan
With USAID funding, ABA/CEELI and USAID’s Participant Training Program conducted a televised forum to address the issue of bribery in law institutions in Kazakhstan. The one-hour talk show was broadcast by Channel 31 nationwide on April 23 and April 29, and focused on bribery in law faculties. The show brought together legal experts, law faculty professors, law students, and university administration to discuss the prevalence of bribery in educational institutions and the reasons behind it, and to work out recommendations for potential solutions.
The law students and legal professionals present in the studio commented on both the prevalence of bribery and the detrimental effects it has on the legal system of Kazakhstan. This program follows on ABA/CEELI's broadcast (co-funded by USAID) of a mock trial of a bribery case in November, also broadcast on Channel 31. These are some of the first programs intended to attract public attention to the sensitive issue of bribery and its impact on society.
