ULAANBAATAR, Nov 06 (MonInfo) – Mongolian minister of health and general secretary of ex-president’s party under investigation for corruption resigned from his cabinet as well party posts.
Local media reported that Mongolian Minister of Health Shiilegdamba Gankhuyag who was arrested on the night of Nov 4 by country’s anti-corruption body “Independent agency against Corruption” or IAAC submitted his resignation letter from his ministerial post as well from his party’s general secretary’s positions.
His office and home was raided and searched by police force and it is alleged that he was caught in the act of receiving bribe worth 500 million tugrug worth dollars (251 thousand dollars).
Munkhtur, spokesperson of the Mongolian PM Saikhanbileg Chimed said today health Minister Shiilegdamba requested to be released from his cabinet post and in the request he said “ I borrowed money from my long-time friend for personal purpose and kept it in the safe of my office. I was planning to use it for my personal need. I want to emphasize that I didn’t receive bribe.Even though I didn’t receive bribe, probably it will take some time for investigation to be completed due to current political circumstances. I’m resigning in order to ensure stability of cabinet and for honor of health sector workers”.
According to the spokesperson, Shiilegdamba pledged his innocence and promised to come back with clean reputation to his political career.
Former President Enkhbayar Nambar and his party MPRP  often accused the IAAC of acting under direct order of incumbent President Elbegdorj Tsakhia to hunt down his political enemies under the guise of fighting with corruption. Enditem.
