==Finance minister==
Although Dosayev had previously headed the Agency for Regulating Natural Monopolies, ''[[Radio Free Europe]]'' took [[Kazakh President]] [[Nursultan Nazarbayev]]'s appointment of Dosayev to Finance Minister as a surprise, calling him and [[Adilbek Jaksybekov]], who Nazarbayev appointed Minister of Trade and Industry, "newcomers." [[Kazakh Prime Minister]] [[Imangali Tasmagambetov]]'s resignation triggered the dismissal of all government ministers as outlined in the [[Constitution of Kazakhstan]].<ref name=NEWCOMER/>

Dosayev, addressing journalists and the [[Parliament of Kazakhstan]] on 19 March that AGIP KCO would pay the government US$150 million for delaying oil production in the [[Kashagan oilfield]]. He said, "There will be two sums - 100 and 50 [million dollars]. One hundred is to arrive, and 50 will come a bit later." The ''Revenue Watch Institute'' characterized his answer to a question regarding further payments for delaying output as "evasive." Dosayev said, "You know, [[Vladimir Shkolnik|Vladimir Sergeyevich Shkolnik]] will tell you everything that was envisaged. I cannot speak about all the sums. The only thing I can now say is that 100 [million dollars] will arrive. We will negotiate the remainder later. The compensation calculated on the basis of the years [of postponed extraction]." He said that the government would "adjust the timeframe for payments and the like, if necessary," and the payment would either be transferred to the "National Fund [where surplus oil revenues are accumulated] or the budget to get the money. I think it will be the National Fund."<ref name=POSTPONING>[http://www.revenuewatch.org/news/bbc031904.shtml Kazakhstan said to get 150m dollars for delayed oil extraction] Revenue Watch Institute</ref>

==Economy minister==
In December 2015, Dosayev reported to parliament that TengizChevroil (TCO), a joint venture with Chevron and Kazakhstan's largest oil producer, planned to spend about US$30 billion on an expansion project. Dosayev's ministry worked with TCO to reduce costs from an earlier estimate of $38 billion. The aim of the project is to expand oil production to 38 million tonnes per year in 2021 from 27 million tonnes per year in 2015.<ref name="ReutersOne">{{cite news|title=Kazakh Tengizchevroil expansion to cost $30 bln - minister|url=http://www.reuters.com/article/chevron-kazakhstan-expansion-idUSL8N14H05G20151228|accessdate=24 April 2017|publisher=Reuters|date=28 December 2015}}</ref>

Dosayev resigned from his position as minister for the economy in May of 2016. President Nazarbayev accepted his resignation but praised Dosayev's performance.<ref name="BNEWSOne">{{cite news|title=Kazakhstan President accepted resignation of the Minister of Economics E.Dosayev|url=http://bnews.kz/en/news/politika/naznacheniya/kazakhstan_president_accepted_resignation_of_the_minister_of_economics_edosayev-2016_05_05-1270225|publisher=BNEWS|date=5 May 2016}}</ref>

==Health minister==
Bolat Jylkyshiev, the governor of the Southern Kazakhstan region, was also fired. Nurlan Abdirov, the deputy head of Kazakhstan's [[National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan|National Security Committee]], said Dosayev and Jylkyshiev were guilty of "serious" negligence.<ref name=AIDS/>
