ikon.mn reported the decision at 09:50 Ulaanbaatar time and Montsame carried the press office's statement at 11:39. The prime minister's reasoning, in Montsame's wording: the situation in the justice and interior sector had reached a level that harms 'the normal operation of, and public trust in, the sector responsible for ensuring the country's security'. In ikon.mn's, the branch performing special state functions 'has become unable to operate normally' and cooperation with the relevant authorities has become impossible. Uchral also ordered that the senior and mid-level managers of the subordinate agency named in the affair be relieved of their duties. No successor or acting minister is named in either report.
Namsamand's statement went out on Monday through named outlets, ikon.mn reported that day, citing difficulties in his agency's work. In Namsamand's account the minister asked for his own driver's wife and a younger sibling to be made heads, and 'when he said make them heads, they were made'; on some appointments he 'says in so many words and without them that they are not to be made, and threatens'. No answer from Amarsaikhan appears in ikon.mn's or Montsame's reports.
No successor or acting minister is named in either report.
The Court Decision Enforcement General Office runs the prisons and enforces court judgments under the justice and interior ministry. The removal lands in the first week of the autumn session of the State Great Khural, which opened on Tuesday with the 2026 budget rewrite and the 2027 budget as its first business.
