An unconfirmed report about the restructuring of the reform government has raised numerous speculations among politicians and the public.
The only thing that remains clear is that the restructuring process will be made in the scope of the "From Big State to Smart State" policy initiative of President Ts.Elbegdorj.
Speculation is circulating around news that the Government has agreed to merge ministries with the same direction and role, and restructure a government with 11 ministries instead of 16.
According to an unconfirmed source, 10 ministries, including the Economic Development Ministry, Finance Ministry, Ministry of Roads,Construction and Urban Development, the Energy and Mining Ministry, Ministry of Population Development and Social Protection, Labor Ministry, Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Science,Culture, Sport and Tourism, will be merged into 5.
But it is still unknown which ministers will remain in Prime Minister N.Altankhuyag’s Government .
The current so-called “Reform Government” runs with 16 ministries and 19 ministers.
The Democratic Party stresses that a government made up of 11 ministries is good enough.
