President Nazarbayev doesn’t want to waste time after having been sworn in for a third presidential term recently. He is dealing blows in a couple of directions. First, his cabinet’s performance is not really satisfactory:

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Monday criticized his Cabinet for poor strategic planning, overspending and other mistakes.

Also, the Kazakh diplomatic corps is taking far too much time off:

The ambassador of Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan spent 112 days away from the sojourn country. Some ambassadors spend 60-100 and 200 away from their sojourn countries,” - N. Nazarbayev observed

Slightly reminiscent of practices in other countries of the region.
