Olzhas Kuspikov

Olzhas Kuspikov is a member of the Mazhilis, the lower house of the Parliament of Kazakhstan. Recently, he has been in the news for advocating a shift in security practices at large public events, arguing against the extensive deployment of police forces at commercial concerts and sporting events. Kuspikov believes that the primary role of the police should focus on crime prevention and public safety rather than crowd control at entertainment events, which he suggests raises questions within society.
