Districts granted power to spend budget itself

The Citizens` Representative Khural in Khan-Uul district have approved the district budget and distributed budget into khoroos, depending on the proportion of population. It is because districts have been granted the rights to spend their own budget aiming to improve the direct democracy-civil participation in Mongolia.

Therefore citizens can supervise a khoroo with their participation forming a service point and not only requesting a reference letters and the like from it from now on.

Those attending the Citizens` Representative Khural in their district as a civil participant will be provided with the right to spend the budget.

The Citizens` Representative Khural in bag and khoroo used to have nothing but an appointed Governor. The Khural stayed outside of public attention and opinion.

But now the legal right for civilians to manage the budget for their area themselves has been approved.

Khan-Uul district for example split the budget distribution into its16 different khoroos.

The 1st khoroo with 2,304 households and a population of 8,706 was granted 108 million and 900 thousand MNT budget while 14th khoroo with 1,135 households and a population of 3,224 was granted 40 million and 500 thousand MNT of the budget.
