Minister of Finance S.Bayartsogt has said the proposal to allocate MNT 1 billion to every Member of Parliament to spend on their constituency has been scrapped. Instead of spending the money through individual MPs, the entire amount of MNT 76 billion will be part of the Ministries’ budgets and will be allocated to the relevant state budget disbursement authorities. The changed procedure was adopted after a letter from the Constitutional Court had defined the legal position.
