During Thursday`s plenary session meeting of Parliament, the resignation of Economic Development Minister N.Batbayar was scheduled to be discussed, however it was delayed until next week on the decision of Speaker Z.Enkhbold.

The MPP caucus submitted a request for the resignation of the Economic Development N.Batbayar, blaming the Minister for the flagging economy. This is the third time that Parliament has delayed discussion of the issue.

Many people are suspicious about why the Speaker has decided to delay the issue. There is speculation that the ruling party is trying to sweep the matter under the carpet, and let N.Batbayar remain in the post. Speaker Z.Enkhbold has not released a comment about his decision to delay the discussion.
