Main reasons mentioned in the motion and expressed during parliamentary deliberations were threefold. First, concession bids, awarded to companies with direct relation to cabinet members, violated conflict of interest laws. Second, failure to include Children’s money into 2017 budget. During budget approval process, the Cabinet insisted on 0.2 percent growth in 2017 and increased seven types of taxes. However, economy grew at 5.3 percent and right before the second round of presidential elections in July 2017 the government announced full distribution of Children’s money, breaking the budget law. Third, downgrading of credit ratings of Mongolia took place twice during this cabinet’s tenure and it is too slow and incompetent to handle the crisis, claimed the motion submitters.

The government response to all three reasons also deserves contemplation. It claims that no new concession awards were given and these were simply decisions to extend, re-approve the old concession agreements. Budget for 2017 was approved by the Parliament itself. Downgradings were fallouts of the previous cabinet’s actions and economy actually recovered during this cabinet.  ​
