Mongolia Steps Up Governance Push With Secrecy Bill, Health Pay Fix, Anti-Bullying Drive

New measures point to a drive for tighter oversight across government.

Overview

  • Lawmakers submitted a State Secret bill that would put Parliament in charge of approving what counts as classified information and remove the separate “official secret” category.
  • A district court refused to lift MP D. Amarbayasgalan’s travel ban, keeping limits on foreign travel and contact with named individuals during an ongoing criminal case.
  • Prime Minister N. Uchral ordered 2026 health-worker allowances and other pay elements to be recalculated from the increased base salary so staff receive the full raise.
  • Police launched the “Build an Unbroken Future” campaign running to May 6 to deter peer bullying, step up checks in schools and public places, and close abusive online groups.
  • Ulaanbaatar’s 32 km Tuul Expressway is under construction toward a 2028 opening with a 2.3 trillion MNT budget, with some works paused pending annual environmental management plans and ongoing land-clearance agreements.
