3. «Due to changes in social relations, the question of parliamentary reform was initially broached. The fact is that unitary states have a unicameral parliament, while in Kazakhstan in 1995, despite this, a bicameral parliament was established. Laws must be passed quickly, efficiently, and on time, which is why the need for a unicameral parliament became apparent.»

4. «Besides the unicameral parliament, other main changes that will have the biggest effect on the country’s political life include the re-establishment of the position of the vice president, as well as giving the newly formed People’s Council the power to initiate laws.»
