Mongolian speaker denies Washington post corruption allegation www.news.mn
The Washington Post published an article on 26 June over a Mongolian political conspiracy to sell government positions. Entitled “Mongolian democracy has a familiar ailment, and it's all about money', the article outlines one of the biggest political scandals to hit the country since Mongolia became a democracy in 1990. The article refers to the, so- called, '60 billion case', which has been publicised by Mongolian political commentator D.Jagalsaikhan on his Jargal Defacto site.
Earlier today, M.Enkhbold, Speaker of Parliament, addressing the house during the opening ceremony of parliament, denied the Washington Post’s allegation. M.Enkhbold said, the case had been investigated not only by Mongolia's Independent Authority against Corruption, but an investigation team including the General Intelligence Authority and the National Police Agency. The State General Prosecutor's Office dismissed the case. The Speaker said: 'I have worked as a leader of Mongolian People’s Party before and after 2016 parliamentary election. I did not take any money from anyone for promoting so-and-so to a position.’
