Well they could make using client certificates mandatory from Kazakhstanian ip addresses. Now the gov server can't connect and so can't MITM anything.

No, that would simply make kazakhs unable to connect to that service; with the proposed solution SSL traffic that for whatever reasons couldn't be MITM'ed simply wouldn't work at all.
