STANDING COMMITTEES SUPPORT SH.TUVDENDORJ

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ A joint meeting of two Standing committees on Tuesday backed a proposal on appointing Sh.Tuvdendorj MP as a Minister for Industry and Agriculture. Members of the committees on Economy and on Environment, Food and Agriculture discussed the appointment proposal and decided to submit it to parliament, which is expected to discuss this issue on Thursday. The office has become vacant since the preceding Minister Kh.Battulga resigned from the post at his own request. The Prime Minister’s proposal to appoint Sh.Tuvdendorj to the office has not been supported by the President Ts.Elbegdorj, who has rejected the proposal, considering it is inappropriate for one to simultaneously hold offices of a MP and a Minister.
