The Diet will begin substantive deliberations on the new fiscal year's budget bill on the 5th. The opposition parties are calling for an investigation into the facts surrounding the political funding party of a faction within the Liberal Democratic Party.
Prime Minister Kishida and the executives of the faction involved will be held accountable, the opposition parties say. The government and the Lib Dem Party are hoping to expedite deliberations by explaining efforts such as interviews with relevant members by party executives. The Diet will conduct a survey of all members of the Diet to confirm whether there is any party ticket income from factions.
