Prime Minister Oyun-Erdene.L believe that establishing a specialized court for handling corruption cases is necessary in Mongolia. Oyun-Erdene.L: As the fight against corruption intensifies, the economy is showing positive indicators. However, the Mongolian government's anti-corruption efforts have faced a significant obstacle at the court stage. Is imposing a 20 million MNT fine on a corrupt individual, who is responsible for a 20 billion MNT loss to the country, an effective anti-corruption penalty, or does it inadvertently serve as a reward for accepting bribes?
While most cases are typically resolved across three levels of courts within three months, some corruption cases remain stuck in the trial court for seven years. Is the constitutional principle that every citizen is equal before the law and subject to fair court decisions being effectively implemented?
This is the source of public discontent. Citizens are demanding justice from their parliamentary representatives and the government, both of which are tasked with representing the interests of the people.
