This story popped up yesterday on my Reuters ticker which I didn’t really pay much attention to until I unintentionally clicked on it today and so thought I’d have a look. What I really like about this story is that the PM of Kazakhstan seemed genuinely enthusiastic about communicating with the people and understanding what really matters to them.

The PM Karim Masimov started his own last week and has already started to respond and look into comments made by readers about the quality of the water in some of the villages. Although many politician around the world have their own blogs, twitter accounts and the like this story just warmed me due to its genuine feel – lets hope it continues.

Random Fact that I also discovered – Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in the world! Now didn’t that make this post worth reading!
