This body will be used to no correct its image but to help some people rise to power. Tazhin's task is to help Rakhat Aliyev or his spouse Dariga Nazarbayev become a legitimate pretender to the top position. To do so, they will have to turn the NSC into a powerful instrument of political struggle. Shrewd Tazhin shall turn it into a real organization, capable to fully control the entire system of state and political affairs, and help the Family out of the turmoil and any transformations so that it never looses its influence, power, and assets. On the other hand, Tazhin's quitting the president administration demonstrates that Nursultan Nazarbayev considers his grip on power tight enough and does not need any serious intellectual justification for home and foreign use.
