Kazakh President Won't Sign Draft Law On Special Powers, RFE/RL (2010)
The article informs that Kazakh president Nursultan Nazarbaev is not going to sign a controversial draft law that would give him special powers for life. Last month, the country's parliament drafted and quickly passed the bill on "Leader of the Nation" that would allow Nazarbaev to retain nearly all the powers he has as president even if he steps down from office. In his television statement, Nazarbaev referred to Kazakhstan's international obligations as a reason for not approving the draft law.
