It is formed by the President and is accountable to both the President and the Kurultai under the new constitutional model.","blocks":{"answer_html":"<h2>Constitutional role</h2>\n<p>The Government is the <strong>highest executive body</strong> of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Its task is not to make the Constitution, but to implement state policy in practice.</p>\n<p>It is responsible for:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>economic administration</li>\n<li>social policy</li>\n<li>public services</li>\n<li>law and order within executive competence</li>\n<li>execution of laws and state programs</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Composition</h2>\n<p>The Government is headed by the Prime Minister and includes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Deputy Prime Ministers</li>\n<li>ministers</li>\n<li>heads of central executive bodies where constitutionally or legally required</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Formation</h2>\n<p>Under the constitutional model:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the Prime Minister is appointed by the President with the consent of the Kurultai</li>\n<li>the Government’s structure is determined by the President</li>\n<li>members of the Government are appointed within the executive formation process</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This keeps the Government within a presidential system while adding parliamentary oversight at the key stage of appointment.</p>\n<h2>Accountability</h2>\n<p>The Government is accountable:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>to the President, as the head of state in a presidential system</li>\n<li>to the Kurultai, through reporting and political oversight mechanisms</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This dual accountability is important because it combines executive unity with parliamentary scrutiny.</p>\n<h2>Main areas of work</h2>\n<p>In the economy:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>prepares and executes the republican budget</li>\n<li>manages state property and economic policy</li>\n<li>implements financial and development measures</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In social policy:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>implements education, healthcare, labor, and culture policy</li>\n<li>ensures social protection mechanisms</li>\n<li>carries out public welfare programs</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In administration and security:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>organizes implementation of laws</li>\n<li>maintains public administration systems</li>\n<li>acts within the framework of legality and citizens’ rights</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Why this matters</h2>\n<p>The Government remains executive in nature, but in the 2026 model it operates under more visible constitutional accountability than in a purely centralized executive design.</p>\n","facts_html":"<ul>\n<li>The Government is the highest executive body</li>\n<li>The Prime Minister is appointed by the President
