After the protests in Kazakhstan, which began after an increase in prices for liquefied gas and escalated into riots, President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev dismissed the government of the republic and made a number of other personnel decisions. In particular, three deputy heads were dismissed from the National Security Committee: Daulet Yergozhin, Marat Osipov and Samat Abish, the nephew of ex-president Nursultan Nazarbayev.
