The Kazakh community in Jordan will Sunday participate in a general referendum held by their country's government to pass broad constitutional amendments.

Since the early morning hours, Kazakh expatriates flocked to their country's embassy in Amman to have their say in the referendum on amending their country's constitution.

Baurzhan Abiyev, Counselor at the Kazakh Embassy in Amman, expressed gratitude to Jordanian authorities for their assistance in facilitating this referendum, which he described as momentous in his country's history.

The reforms, according to Abiyev, suggest reducing the president's executive powers, giving parliament greater power, and making it more representative of the country's 19 million people by replacing the proportional voting system with a mixed-proportional majority system.

According to the Kazakh diplomat, the amendments also propose, among other things, giving local and regional governments and authorities more powers and strengthening mechanisms to protect human rights.
