The Ministry was originally created on 31 August 1991 as Ministry of Print and Mass Media with Quanysh Sultanov being its first Minister.[2]

On 14 October 1995, it was formed into the National Agency for Press and Mass Media of the Republic of Kazakhstan until being reestablished as Ministry of Information and Public Accord on 13 October 1997.[3][4] Following the cabinet restructuring, the Ministry from 22 January 1999 was part of the Ministry of Culture, Information and Public Accord.[5]

On 14 September 2003, it became the Ministry of Information to which it was led by Sauytbek Adrahmanov.[6] The Ministry lasted until it was merged into the Ministry of Culture, Information, and Sports in 29 September 2004.[7]

The Ministry was created on 12 March 2010 as Ministry of Communications and Information after major changes and rearrangements in the Government through the incorporation of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Information and Communications which was reorganized into the Committee and Committee for Information and Archives of the former Ministry of Culture and Information. The Joint Stock Company "Arna Media National Information Holding" was also transferred to the new ministry, however, it was later disbanded.[8]

The Ministry was led by Askar Zhumagaliyev and was eventually disbanded on 20 January 2012 with all its functions being transferred to the Ministry of Culture and Information and Ministry of Transport and Communications.[9]
