Draft resolution on nat’l programme on combating corruption submitted

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ An advisor to the President on legal policy Ch.Onorbayar Thursday submitted to the Speaker a draft resolution of parliament on approving a national programme on combating corruption and strengthening responsibilities and justice. Mongolia has been enjoying some benefits of measures for reducing corruption rate, minimizing bureaucracy in public services, ensuring transparency, improving responsibilities and values of justice. However, the country still faces problems such as blurring corruption crimes by depoliticizing it, and a number of crimes related to bribery and posts is still high. The corruption is a problem in Mongolia because concrete changes have not been made in those areas possibly involved in conflicts of interest and corruption, and a system has not been formed yet to save the informants. "This is why the national programme on combating corruption and strengthening responsibilities and justice has been worked out. It aims to refine the legal regulation in combating corruption, forming fair and disciplinary conditions in public activities, to form a just system of public services, harmonizing it with the present situation, and to design a state policy on reducing and preventing corruption risk", he said.
