The Democratic Party (DP) caucus in the Parliament discussed the draft 2027 Budget of Mongolia and announced its position on the proposed budget and the Government's actions.

Citing what it described as repeated violations of the law by the ruling party, the DP caucus called for accountability and demanded that Prime Minister N.Uchral immediately submit a motion of confidence in his Government to Parliament for consideration.

O.Tsogtgerel, Chairman of the DP caucus, said: 

“There is an established international parliamentary practice whereby, when a policy conflict arises, a motion of confidence is put forward. If confidence is affirmed, the policy proceeds; if confidence is not secured, there is no need to deliberate on the accompanying legislation. The public can see the current state of the Cabinet.”

MP G.Ochirbat said the Government was including budget figures without sufficient analysis from budget experts, researchers, or auditors. He also raised concerns over issues involving the Prime Minister and a private school, as well as a matter involving MNT 50 billion that had emerged that morning.

“Our party will demand a detailed breakdown and work with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance to establish the facts. The materials prepared by the ministries are naturally processed in Excel files. Yet when members of the Standing Committee on Petitions request this data and make it public, the response is anger, with claims that ‘they are trying to smear me using an Excel file.

The Prime Minister should not speak in such a manner. Having previously served as a member of Parliament, Speaker of Parliament, Head of the Cabinet Secretariat, and Minister of Digital Development, and now serving as Prime Minister, he has overseen the adoption of numerous budgets and laws. Yet he is now submitting a budget in violation of the law himself.

The Democratic Party maintains that, together with the public, we must put an end to such improper practices.”
