ACA forwards 11 matters to prosecutors
The Anti Corruption Authority has forwarded 11 matters to prosecutors’ organizations and is investigating 30 complaints of state officials misusing their authority and official position. Many of the charges are related to seeking or taking bribes, and improper spending of public money.
The organization asks citizens who have incriminating information and complaints to personally come to the Center of Complaints at the ACA or to call 1969 at any time of the day.
Meeting discusses safety measures for child riders
The safety of child jockeys during the Naadam races was discussed in the Civil Chamber on July 1. Among the participants were the Union of Honored Mothers and the Union of Mongolian Horse Sports.
Mothers called for a union of such children to look after their interests, and wanted safety gear for the riders. They also pressed for stronger enforcement of safety regulations, providing insurance cover for the children, disallowing children under 7 from competing, and compensation for injured children and their family.
Participants appealed to MPs and people interested in horse sports to see that the children received all protection.
Enkhbayar blames both parties for July 1 violence
Representatives of 30 NGOs and civil movement groups, as well as members of the families of those who died in the July 1 incidents, attended a press conference called by the civil movement “Homeland, fairness and independence” on the anniversary of the violence.
Among others who took part were the chief of the MPRP, N.Enkhbayar, representatives of the Democratic Development Party, the National Khas Movement and the Liberal Party. They said it was not enough to commemorate the date, and the Government must be made to identify the guilty.
Enkhbayar, who was President at that time, said the July 1 demonstration had started in a small way, but the fire lit by a matchstick had turned into a conflagration, fueled by both parties and stoked by incompetent handling by all in authority. His pleas for effective action had been in vain and he had been forced to declare a state of emergency much against his wish, but there was no choice.
Flowers were laid at the victims’ memorial after the press conference.
