Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Friday approved the amendments to the constitution to cede more power to the parliament and the cabinet.
Nazarbayev's press service confirmed that the changes had been signed into law after a judicial review and parliamentary approval this week.
Under the new constitution, the parliament will have the power to form a cabinet which was used to be appointed by the president.
The cabinet, in turn, will have more power and independence to manage the country's economic activities.
According to Nazarbayev, after the reform, he will focus on general issues of the country, such as foreign policy and national security.
