Mr. M.Enkhbold, a member of the Parliament and Chairman of the
Mongolian People s Revolutionary Party (MPRP), was appointed on
Wednesday as the Mongolian Prime Minister at a plenary meeting of the
Parliamentary session. On Tuesday, the President N.Enkhbayar submitted
a proposal on appointing Mr. M.Enkhbold as the Premier on the basis of
the consultation of the political parties in the Parliament. The
appointment issue of Mr. M.Enkhbold was accepted by 55 or 83.3 percent
out of the 66 lawmakers, who attended the plenary meeting of the
Parliamentary session.
At the meeting, the President Mr. N.Enkhbayar
warned that the Government to be newly built up must pay more attention
to the social pressing issues such as poverty alleviation, unemployment
reduction, combating corruption and increase of salary and pension
volumes and to carry out all possible activities for the country s
sustainable development for the sake of the people. The National
Consultative Committee of the Democratic Party has made a decision to
work as an opposition force by a way of building up a shadow
Government. However, the Party s 15 members have suggested to work in
the new Government s compound. A lawmaker E.Bat-Uul inquired whether
Mr. N.Enkhbold will receive their proposal. Mr. N.Enkhbold answered
that at present, he has not yet received any official paper from them.
The MPRP appealed formerly to the political parties and members in the
Parliament to cooperate in building up a new Government. If, the
members suggested collaborating we would receive their proposal. Before
the voting, about ten lawmakers said their proposals to Mr. Enkhbold.
The lawmaker E.Bat-Uul wished from Mr. Enkhbold to not attend the
internal affairs of other political parties and not to receive the
proposal put by the Democratic Party s 15 members. Other
Parliamentarians L.Gundalai and B.Batbaatar raised a question
pertaining to increasing the volume of money allowance for children and
granting the allowance to every child. Another lawmaker N.Bayarsaikhan
emphasized that the provision of the state and social stability is an
important development factor of Mongolia. After the approval of the
resolution on appointing him as the new Premier, Mr. N.Enkhbold said
that he will shortly submit a proposal to the Parliament to build up a
new Government for the national solidarity. He pointed out that
efficient measures are required to carry out to solve many pressing
issues including the increase of salary and pension volumes, the price
rise of consumer products, and the improvement of living environment of
rural residents. He pledged to take a number of measures to combat
corruption and to work out the national development policy to be
observed for 20 or 30 years. The Acting Premier Mr. Ts.Elbegdorj handed
over the state seal to the new Prime Minister M.Enkhbold. The new
Premier was also received by the President and Parliament Speaker. Mr.
