State officials declare income declarations

High-ranking government officials have recently declared their 2011 property holdings and incomes.


According to declarations, high-ranking state officials at least have annually earned income of MNT12 million. Previous years declarations have showed that high-ranking officials each have a company that has stable profits while current declarations have stated they have owned shares of large companies.

People have suspected high-ranking officials’ income increase year by year. For example, the Premier’s income has been increased by 20 times and ministers’ income by 6 or 7 times in 2008 when the Government has ratified Oyutolgoi contract.

Declarations of 2011 have shown that politics’ incomes have been decreased by from three to six times and people think politics were afraid of income increase. Besides, high-ranking officials have more preferred shares than cash.

From the ministers, Justice and Internal Affairs Minister Ts.Nyamdorj, who has had annual income of MNT12.5 million in 2011, has not had shares while other ministers –M.Enkhbold and D.Khayankhyarvaa- own shares of Erdenes Tavantolgoi LLC while the company has not done its IPO.

Declarations have also stated that politics’ incomes have been reduced while their family members’ incomes have been increased. For instance, Prime Minister S.Batbold has earned MNT51 million while his family has earned MNT151 million in 2011. But declarations of 2010 has shown that S.Batbold has had MNT200 million and his family has had income in three times less than his income.

Also MP D.Arvin has declared that her income was MNT12.8 million and her family income MNT84.4 million in 2010. But she has written about 2011 income that she has earned MNT4 million more than 2010 in last year and her family has had income in four times more than 2010.

MP Kh.Battulga has declared MNT17 million of income in 2011 while his income was MNT405 million in 2010.

Besides, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister D.Zorigt has declared in 2010 that he has earned MNT10 million and his family MNT20 million but the minister’s income has been increased by MNT4 million while his family income has been increased by ten times in 2011.

High-ranking state officials have declared their incomes in the fourth year but there is doubt about true writing. Moreover, an organization has not checked the declarations’ truth and only media writes about their income digits.
