Speaker D. Demberel is on vacation and Deputy Speaker
G.Batkhuu (DP) is in charge until he returns. Yesterday he chaired a meeting of
the Speaker’s Council to begin preparations for the Autumn session of Parliament,
and to schedule the work plan for standing committees and working groups. After
the meeting, Batkhuu answered some questions from the media.

Where
does the issue of the Anti-Corruption Authority stand?

The Speaker has instructed the concerned standing
committee and sub committee to submit their assessment of the contents of the Prosecutor
General’s letter. If there is need, we may call a special session of
Parliament.

The
Prosecutor General has already asked for it. Why do you not act on that?

Calling a session is no problem. But the standing
committees and the sub committee have decided to study the issue more carefully
before passing an opinion.

Does
the Sub-committee on Special Inspection plan to meet soon?

No. It will meet only after the working group submits its
recommendations. The sub committee will discuss these and submit a report to
the Standing Committee on Justice to discuss the issue.
