In the beginning of the press conference, MP J.Bat-Erdene said, “We are very critical towards the incidents that MPs and members of government received loans from SME Development Fund, which has actual impact on creating jobs and reducing poverty. Regarding the Fund’s matter, we, 22 MPs, have signed an official letter to make an initiative to undergo investigation of legal organizations by refusing of our full powers of Member of Parliament. We are calling for all MPs to sign this letter. After having signatures, we will submit it to the Parliament’s Subcommittee on Ethics.”
