ALMATY: Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev hinted on Tuesday that associates of his predecessor and former patron Nursultan Nazarbayev needed to share their wealth with the public to help alleviate discontent after a week of violent unrest.

Several members of his family and former associates are among Kazakhstan's richest people, according to Forbes magazine: Kairat Boranbayev, the father-in-law of Nazarbayev's late grandson Aisultan, has interests in commercial real estate, owns the McDonald's franchise in Kazakhstan and Belarus, and has interests in many other sectors.

Though not listed by Forbes, Nazarbayev's eldest daughter Dariga Nazarbayeva and her son Nurali Aliyev own a property portfolio in Britain estimated by The Times newspaper as worth £140 million, including the Baker Street address of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes.
