After the State Supreme Court (SSC) ordered three
Anti-Corruption Authority (ACA) officials convicted of corruption released from
custody last month, the Standing Committee on Justice delivered a note to
President Ts.Elbegdorj asking him to nominate a new head of the ACA.

An official in the President’s Office told our correspondent
that the president has not yet officially nominated anyone for the post, but
sources say several candidates are under consideration.

Among them are Colonel N.Ganbold, a former emissary from
Mongolia to Russia; B.Galdaa, the head of the Investigation Board of the State
Prosecutors’ General Office; Major General M.Ganbold, former chief of the
Police General Department; J.Enkhsaikhan, vice president of the Mongolian
Advocates’ Union; and T.Lkhagva, a former instructor at the Management Academy.
