Friday`s regular session of Parliament was held with an attendance of only 16 out of the 76 MPs who represent communities in Parliament. During the session 45 MPs were registered as attending with a button press, but only 16 of these MPs actually attended the session meeting to discuss the draft law on the 2014 state budget.

A legislator of Parliament is obliged to attend session meetings in spite of what is being discussed unless there is an excuse or emergency. The State Great Khural  (Parliament) is in the second year of a four year term. However the majority of the Members of Parliament are completing their roles as legislators not by participating in discussions but by the pressing of a button and pretending to be present.
