PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ State Great Khural (parliament) of Mongolia discussed Thursday through early Friday the issue of dismissing Prime Minister Ch.Saikhanbileg. The 13th PM of Mongolia won 57.5 percent votes of approval, gaining support of 42 MPs out of 73 participated.
The issue was submitted this January 19 by G.Uyanga and 18 other MPs, on the allegation that the "signing of Oyu Tolgoi Underground Mine Development’s financial plan, which took place in Dubai last May, had become an unbeneficial to Mongolia deal, bringing more state debt burden", and that "this was a violation of a parliamentary resolution".
PM Ch.Saikhanbileg answered to questions of 40 MPs, on the yield of Oyu Tolgoi agreement and economic situations of the country.
With such a win, the Premier is to lead the Government until a formation of a new cabinet, which will happen the next parliamentary election.
