The lower chamber of the Tuvan Parliament has sent a letter to Russian Prime-Minister Mikhail Fradkov drawing his attention to the ineffective rule of the republic by Sherig-ool Oorzhak who has been in the lead for 13 years. Throughout this period as the deputies state the republic receiving huge donations from Moscow (from 95 to 90 per cent of the Tuvan budget) could not put them into the well-being of Tuva. After that the higher chamber of the Parliament has made its own appeal to Mr Fradkov saying that the things are not that bad and that Sherig-ool Oorzhak is quite good in managing the republican economy. The reaction to these letters from Fradkov's office is yet unknown.
