Yesterday was a packed day for the MPs as the State Great Khural discussed the Ministerial Candidates, which started in the morning and ended at night with approval of M.Enkhsaikhan as Minister of State.
Solution Government members were approved speedily one by one accompanied with mandates, instructions and encouragements from MPs. There were too many on the list to discuss and therefore it took day and night to appoint the whole cabinet. After the approvals the MPs and the newly appointed Ministers were busy with handing over the State Stamps, so that MPs pulled all-nighter at the Parliament Building. As a result Mongolia has now fully operational cabinet.

Minister of Finance J.Erdenebat: Will consider tight budget policy
MP J.Erdenebat might have been not famous yet for his political deeds, while the appointment to the Minister of Finance will lay the grounds for his future career as a politician. MPs, politicians and the mass will closely observe his actions from now on. As a person in charge of the state budget and economic relations of the country, he is to be under eyes of many on his policies and measures to be implemented to overcome the current economic downturn.
It is clear enough for him that he is to steer the most troubled sector. J.Erdenebat has admitted the current economic downturn and emphasized that the first step of his actions as a Minister of Finance will be fundamental analysis of the economic crisis we are facing now and most importantly he will focus on the modification of the State Budget for 2015, by adjusting the budget to the economic capacities. Also he made sure that from now on Ministry of Finance would have tight budget policy as the debt payment approaches in 2017 and 2020, which was received by the MPs with a very positive sentiment. Some were even quick to note that new Minister of Finance is capable and skilled in this sector.
No choice, but to approve the Minister of Health
Appointment of the G.Shiilegdamba, former Secretary General of MPRP, as the Minister of Health and Sports, was equal to comparing apples to oranges. As MPs had no choice but to approve him, MP Ts.Nyamdorj emphasized that crumbling health sector was in good hands of MPRP and that he was not sure if Shiilegdamba could save it further. Other than that, rest of the MPs made sure to note the necessities for building children hospitals in near future.
DP group leader D.Erdenebat was unanimously approved for Minister of Industry, as there were almost no questions to the candidate as the Ministry of Industry is new in the cabinet structure.
As a result PM Ch.Saikhanbileg had assembled his cabinet without much troubles and State Great Khural stated that it will be more supportive of the new cabinet and commissioned it to operate in a professional manner.
For Ch.Saikhanbileg he succeeded with constructing his cabinet in just 3 weeks after his appointment to the Prime Minister. As he had said in his speech there are three sectors to focus for the new government, which are economy, economy and economy. Now it is time for operations for the Solution Government.
