The meeting of the Standing Committee on State Structure was scheduled to be held at 9:00 a.m. today, on December 4th, but the meeting to discuss the draft bill on government structure has been indefinitely delayed.
There is speculation that the delay might have been caused as a result of political parties and the coalition caucus being unlikely to reach a final agreement on the government's structure.
PM Ch.Saikhanbileg submitted a draft bill of government structure to the Speaker of Mongolian State Great Khural Z.Enkhbold on December 3rd. The draft bill proposes that the new government would be comprised of 15 ministries and 19 ministers, including the PM, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Mongolia and Head of the Cabinet Secretariat for Government, and cabinet ministers.
