Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ On December 8, President Kh.Battulga delivered a speech at a discussion titled ‘Corruption is not force-majeure’ held in the State House.
Present were, representatives of the Parliamentary Standing committee on Justice, State Great Khural (Parliament)’s Special Control Commission, the Cabinet, the Judicial General Council, the Supreme Court, Independent Agency Against Corruption, National institute of Forensic Studies, General Authority for Execution of Court Decisions, General Police Department, Municipal Administration, as well as civil societies, corruption witnesses and informants.
The President stressed in his speech, according to a report from the Independent Agency Against Corruption (IAAC), MNT 65.3 billion worth damage was done due to corruption and other white-collar crimes within this year, as of November 2017. “This is a data collected only until November. In under a period of just one year or less, corruption resulted in such damage. The amount has been calculated based only on the uncovered cases. Actual damage, caused by the unrevealed cases of corruption, might be a lot more critical than this,” he said.
An initiative to announce 2018 ‘A Year of Exposing Corruption and Protecting Witnesses, Informants and Whistleblowers’ was approved at the end of the discussion. President Kh.Battulga pledged his full support for the initiative.
