Khuvsgul Governor L.Tserenjav has long run the province as a personal fiefdom and pays little heed to what Ulaanbaatar officials say. The MPP, which appointed him, has been concerned at receiving regular reports from the province on how citizens’ interests are ignored and recently the party Chairman, who is also the Prime Minister, called him for a meeting and instructed him to mend his ways and to work more efficiently. However, the situation has not changed. Mr. Tserenjav has now announced that he would spend MNT1 billion on celebrations to mark the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the province, even though the Government wants the expenses not to exceed MNT10 million.
