Komei launches a team to study the revision of the Political Funds Control Act and begins discussions on system design. In response to issues surrounding the political funding parties of factions within the Liberal Democratic Party, the Komeito Party has set up a working team to consider amending the act.

A special committee will be established in the House of Representatives to discuss political reform, and this will serve as a forum for discussions on measures to prevent recurrence. The working team hopes to finalize their ideas for law reform next month.
