S.Bayar’s secret properties exposed

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Ms G.Uyanga MP unfolded on April 8 an information about the unreported properties abroad that belong to Bayar Sanjaa, a former Prime Minister. She said at a press conference that this information was sent from golomt.org to her and to her advisor and political analyst D.Gankhuyag. "I assumed that this information must be shared with the public and be investigated by the legal authorities," said the MP. These documents do not have S.Bayar’s name on, but all receipts and ownership certificates are going by the names of his three daughters and wives. Luxury high-class private apartments and penthouses in New York and Seattle have been purchased by his daughters and his ex-wife O.Gereltuya and his second wife E.Suvd. The seven properties’ costs stand at 11-12 million USD, equal to 20 billion Togrog, according to the current exchange rate, she said. A former PM S.Bayar inked the Oyu Tolgoi agreement on October 6 of 2009 and voluntarily resigned from the PMi soon after, on October 28 due to his "health problems", as he had said. He had left the country the same year to get a medical attention in Washington of the USA. The documents show that these properties were purchased right after the signing of the Oyu Tolgoi agreement. Ms Uyanga said she believes that the purchases are closely with the OT agreement.
