Scott Ludlam: Corruption in approving OYUTOLGOI contracts
The co-leader of the Australian green party, Sen. Scott Ludlam, Senator of the congress from 2008 to 2013, is visiting Mongolia at the invitation of the Mongolian Green Party. During this visit, the press conference held its position.
As the Oyu Tolgoi agreement was in a state of affairs, members of the parliamentary opposition to the contract at that time became minorities and most of them supported the issue. In view of recent developments in Mongolia, critics argue that some of the ministers signed by Oyu Tolgoi have been accused of bribery.
Scott Ludlam has been senator in the Australian parliament for nine years. His goal in Mongolia is related to the world’s democracy and the books of greens. He is leader of no nuke movement, in that case he ask stop exploration uranium in Mongolia during his first visit in Mongolia. Similarly, Mongolia and Australia are operating similar systems in uranium mining companies that lost their country of origin. Therefore, the press conference was aimed at expressing its position. During his stay in Mongolia, he met with the French company “Areva” in the Gobi Desert. He criticized the French company “Areva” to renovate uranium mining in the Gobi desert in the name of “Oreno”. They employ very poor technology to extract uranium. Its harm is 10-20 years later, not tomorrow. In many parts of South America and around the world there is a lot of harm to it. This activity should be stopped not only in Mongolia but also throughout the world. Because of this situation in Australia, Mongolia’s social and political situation has also changed. Corruption and bribery have a negative impact on democracy. Mongolians must pay attention. Specifically, the mining company is investing heavily in the country. Most of them are accredited in the legal environment and politicians are attracted to them. “He emphasized the fight against it. For example, he said that “Rio Tinto” is facing a $ 1 billion problem that may have caused corruption in the Mongolian parliament. “In 2008,” Ivanhoe Mines “shareholder’s meeting was held, and one billion USD was allocated to the Mongolian legal environment and to adults and decision-makers. These papers and documents will soon be introduced to Mongolians. We are working on that. ”
