Biography

edit

Kairbek Suleimenov was born in the outskirts of Novosibirsk in May 1949 in the family of rich Kazakhs who moved from northern Kazakhstan to Siberia during collectivization reforms.[4] Having graduated from Ural State Law University.[5] and served in the army, he worked as a criminal case investigator in Kuibyshev municipal prosecutor's office for several years. For his contribution to solving a serious robbery case, Suleimenov was extolled in an article published in an influential Moscow newspaper, and the prosecutor of Alma-Ata invited him to work in Kazakhstan. Suleimenov later transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.[6] He had risen to the position of the First Deputy to the Minister of Internal Affairs by the time Kazakhstan gained its independence.[7]

Kairbek Suleimenov was appointed Minister in 1995 and during his two terms (1995 – 2000 and 2002 – 2003) left a major mark as he oversaw reforms of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and interior troops; he also dispensed with the Soviet name of the police force (militia).[8][9]

Kairbek Suleimenov served as assistant to the president and secretary of the Security Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2008–2009.[10][11] After his resignation, Mr. Suleimenov chaired the Veterans’ Council[12] and worked as a MP in the Mäjilis.[13]
