ALMATY - Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev accepted the government's resignation on Monday, his office said in a statement, naming Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar as acting prime minister.
Tokayev's office did not say why the cabinet had resigned. Government reshuffles are routine in the oil-rich Central Asian nation where much of the political power is concentrated in the hands of the president. REUTERS
