The head of the administrative police committee, Kaysar Sultanbaev, commented on the initiative proposed by a deputy to reduce the penalties for such violations.
According to him, the number of drunk drivers on the roads is not decreasing, and since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has received 7,500 requests for leniency or amnesty.
However, the position of the department remains unchanged—there will be no concessions for violators. Sultanbaev also noted that a survey conducted on social media revealed that the majority of people were against reducing the punishment.
