Ekaterina Smyshlyaeva
Ekaterina Smyshlyaeva is a deputy in the Mazhilis, the lower house of Kazakhstan's Parliament. She has gained attention for her proposals aimed at regulating the importation of smartphones into Kazakhstan, suggesting limits on the number of devices individuals can bring into the country annually. Smyshlyaeva's initiatives come in response to rising concerns about the prevalence of illegally imported mobile devices, which she argues has led to significant tax revenue losses for the government. Her proposals include the creation of a registration system for mobile devices, integration of device identification codes with customs data, and measures to block unregistered phones from accessing mobile networks.
