The hottest issue attracting public attention since January 19 was definitely the PM dismissal. The draft document to dismiss the PM inititated by G.Uyanga, MP and signed by 19 MPs was postponed for more than 10 days and finally went for the discussion at the Standing committee on State Structure meeting yesterday (January 28, 2016). MPs G.Uyanga and O.Baasankhuu questioned the Prime Minister on the OT investment costs which exceeded by over US$ 3 billion. The PM had a firm reply “There is no need for PM to get involved in such issues”. Da.Ganbold, director of “Erdenes Oyutolgoi” addressed the question “The working group with staff of over 20 people was established to audit the investment costs and concluded that the investment was exceeded by over US$30 m. The audit results were resolved by the Dispute resolution council of the Finance Ministry and both parties finalized the investment costs. There is no reason to deem that the exceeded amount is not an investment” he said.

The MPs attended the Standing committee session voted with 52,6% of attendees were against the PM dismissal. Following the session, the PM dismissal was discussed at the plenary session of the Parliament. 52 MPs were willing to comment and question the Prime Minister at the plenary session which had started after 6 pm. The full quorum gathered at 10 pm and continued the questioning. MPs voted after midnight with 42 MPs out of 73 presented agreed with the Standing committee resolution and with 57,5% of votes the MP’s dismissal was rejected. 31 MPs voted for dismissal.
