Controversy surrounding the Prime Minister of Mongolia, L. Oyun-Erdene, has recently sparked public concern. Specifically, citizens filed a complaint yesterday, alleging that the lavish lifestyle of the Prime Minister’s daughter-in-law may have been financed through corruption, and demanded that the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) investigate the matter.
According to official sources, the ACA has initiated an investigation based on the citizens' request to probe the Prime Minister.
By law, such complaints must be investigated within 30 days of being received.
To recap, the Prime Minister’s son, O. Temuulen, has reportedly gifted his girlfriend expensive items such as luxury handbags and a car—sparking public outrage. As the son is unemployed and has no known source of income, citizens are demanding an explanation for how he was able to afford such lavish gifts. Meanwhile, a protest dubbed the "Handbag Protest," calling for the resignation of the Prime Minister, is currently taking place in Sukhbaatar Square.
