MPP faction does not back new system of state awards
PoliticsUlaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ The faction of the Mongolian People’s Party (MPP) will not back a bill on state prizes to be discussed by Standing committee and a plenary meeting
"Nowadays system of state awards must be kept," said S.Byambatsogt, a head of the MPP faction, and his deputy N.Nomtoibayar at a meeting on Monday.
According to the President-initiated draft law on state prizes, a title of Hero of Labor will be removed, a title of State Precious is to replace the People’s title. The title of State Honored Figure will have only one category. The Erdeniin Ochir Order will be restored after removing the Sukhaabatar Order and the Red Flag Order of Labor Merit as well.
In addition, D.Lundeejantsan MP said the MPP will not support a draft law initiated by Sh.Tuvdendorj MP on adjudication procedure at the Constitutional Court to be discussed this week.
“If we have a practice of restoring decisions annulled by the Constitutional Court through laws, there is no need in the Constitutional Court. This Court is the highest organ of monitoring laws implementation. It is said the Constitution without Court is like a toothless lion,” the MPP faction members stressed.
They also criticized some MPs "who attempt to alter the Constitution in a way of working out bills".
The MPP faction demanded that the PM Ch.Saikhanbileg apologize for saying "an irresponsible statement during the 19th Annual Asian Investment Conference (AAIC) in Hong Kong" that was opposing foreign investments".
