Joint research conducted by the Anti-Corruption Authority of Mongolia and “MDS”, a private law firm, reveals that one in every 200 civil servants has committed corruption.

It is believe that the reason why there is not a reduction in corruption cases is that that entities and organizations spend no budget to fight against corruption.

The joint research by the Anti-Corruption Authority of Mongolia and “MDS” involved 50 state agencies and organizations. According to the research, which is designed to study how civil servants are corrupt, 24 civil servants were connected to 16 corruption cases. In particular, civil servants of the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia were mostly connected to corruption cases according to the research. Last year only, five civil servants of the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia were connected to corruption cases.

Civil servants of the Mineral Resource Authority of Mongolia, the Petroleum Authority of Mongolia and the General Department of Taxation were convicted in corruption cases.
