Rule on ethics of state servants amended

Ulaanbaatar/MONTSAME/ At today’s regular Cabinet meeting, a Rule on ethics of state administrative and service servants was amended. Specifically, it has included a provision that bans public servants of all levels to not gamble either in Mongolia or abroad, and visit such service places, said L.Oyun-Erdene, Head of the Cabinet Secretariat of Government. Information about state officials’ alleged visits to casino or same kind service places when they were on abroad working trip affects the reputation of Mongolian public service and its workers. “The Cabinet assigned corresponding body to oversee the implementation of this resolution and issue a quarterly review. Certainly, it needs the control of public and media organizations. If any public servant is found having gambled, it can be immediately informed to the Cabinet Secretariat of Government. The Cabinet Secretariat will inspect the official and take actions including discharging from one’s job. Initially, this rule will be enforced for six months. If this rule fails to work a bill will be formulated for parliamentary consideration,” added Mr. Oyun-Erdene.
