The 30% rise in
salaries has been applied to all who are paid from the budget, and high
officials have not been exempt. The President’s
basic salary now is MNT1million and 424,435 and that of the Prime Minister and all
MPs MNT1million and 73,630. Government
members and non-MP Ministers will get MNT826,563, the Chief of the
Anti-Corruption Authority MNT1million and 66,694, his deputy MNT988,185, all department
heads MNT944,034, all Office heads MNT890,000, and all senior officials
MNT728,000.
Some members at yesterday’s meeting of the Standing Committee on State
Structure were critical of this increase. The meeting resolved to send a note
to the Prime Minister and also to the Minister of Social Welfare and Labor about
this.
At the meeting, E.Bat-Uul said Parliament should not fix such salaries.
Ch.Saikhanbileg also said it is not wise for MPs to raise their own salary. The
Chief of the Office of the Ministry explained that the salary issue is reviewed
by Parliament when it discusses next year’s draft budget during the Fall
session.
