The work over draft law"On Tele- and Radio Broadcasting" has been in full swing, but the society of the Republic of Kazakhstan did not know its content. Servicemen of International Foundation for Protection of Freedom of Speech "Adil Soz" have sent a letter to Minister of Communication and Information Askar Zhumagaliev.

Drafts of normative and legal acts, infringed on subjects of private enterpreneurship's interests should be published in press, including Internet-resources, before their consideration by proper organ, or at session of council of experts, according to law "On Normative and Legal Acts" of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

A working group of ministry of communication and information has developed the draft law "On Tele- and Radio Broadcasting" infringed on not subjects of private enterpreneurship's interests, but also Kazakhstan's socety in general. Representatives of ministry of communication and information of the Republic of Kazakhstan have promised to place the draft law on the website. However, untill now it has not been happened. Explanations of heads of different offices of the ministry, related to publication of draft law could not be convincing.

Servicemen of International Foundation for Protection of Freedom of Speech "Adil Soz" have asked to solve a problem around this situation. Civil society of the Republic of Kazakhstan should participate in improvement of draft law "On Tele- and Radio Broadcasting" with goal to keep constitutional guarantees of free getting and distribution of information.
