ULAN BATOR, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The Mongolian parliament's standing committee on state structure on Tuesday approved a proposal to dismiss the existing government over a scandal involving financial irregularities.

The committee endorsed the proposal with ten votes for and six against at a meeting. The final decision on the future of Prime Minister Ukhnaa Khurelsukh's government has yet to be made at a parliamentary session, with a majority of over half of the votes in the 76-seat parliament needed for a dismissal.

On Nov. 19, a total of 27 lawmakers of the ruling Mongolian People's Party submitted the proposal to dissolve the government, which should be considered within 15 days according to Mongolia's constitution.

In the corruption scandal exposed last month, some members of the East Asian country's parliament, government and other high-ranking officials have obtained loans with low interest rates from a fund to serve small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

On Nov. 21, Shukhert Lkhamsuren, vice minister of Construction and Urban Development, and Tsultem Nyam-Osor, head of the government agency for policy coordination on state property, were fired over the scandal, the government's press office said in a statement.

Lkhamsuren's company allegedly got 450 million Mongolian Tugriks (227,000 U.S. dollars) in a low-interest loan from the SME fund in 2017.
