An executive of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries attended a dinner with former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Yoshikawa, who was charged with bribery at home, and a former representative of a major chicken egg production company, who was charged with providing cash and was charged with bribery. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries reduced the salary of three people, including Vice-Minister Edamoto, by one tenth, saying that it violated the ethical rules of national civil servants who prohibited entertainment from interested parties due to the problem that the side was paying the cost. In the month, it became clear that the final adjustments were made by disposing of the remaining three people as warnings and admonitions.
