DP caucus postpones Tavantolgoi discussion
The DP caucus took a recess from Friday’s session of Parliament, postponing discussion of proposed amendments to Parliament’s 39th protocol on the Tavantolgoi mining project. The proposed amendments were submitted separately by Ya.Batsuuri and D.Odbayar.
Both amendments would see ten percent of the project’s shares distributed among all citizens for free. Another ten percent, originally intended to be sold to domestic organizations, would also be distributed to citizens for free. Another ten percent would still be sold to domestic organizations. Under the proposed amendments, 20 percent of the project’s shares would be equally distributed among the country’s 2.7 million citizens.
DP caucus chairman Ch.Saikhanbileg said the caucus supports the proposals, but he requested a recess from the discussion because, he said, a joint DP-MPP working group should discuss the two proposals first.
But S.Byambatsogt said the session should discuss the proposals, and unresolved issues could be discussed in the second discussion.
Deputy Speaker N.Enkhbold accepted the DP caucus’s request and postponed discussion of the two proposals.
