The House of Representatives Budget Committee has been debating over the retirement of the Tokyo High Prosecutor's Office's prosecutor's office. A public hearing will be held on the 21st, a prerequisite for voting for the new year's budget.
At the lower house budget committee meeting, on the 20th, the opposition parties described how the retirement of Tokyo Attorney General Kurokawa had been extended based on the provisions of the National Public Service Law.
In response, the Minister of Justice Mori said that when the retirement system was introduced in the National Public Service Act in 1985, it was not interpreted that prosecutors could extend the retirement age, but this government's interpretation of the law made it possible. I realized that it was.
The committee will hold a central hearing on the 21st, which is a prerequisite for voting for the new year's budget, and eight public speakers recommended by each party will give their opinions over the budget.
A sub-committee meeting to discuss policy issues of each ministry and agency will be held on the 25th of next week, and an intensive discussion will be held on the 26th of the following day inviting Prime Minister Abe to attend.
The ruling party plans to pass the House of Representatives within the next week, saying that the spread of the new coronavirus is increasing the risk of a downturn in the economy.
Meanwhile, the opposition parties will continue to pursue the extension of the prosecutor's retirement age and the "Cherry Blossom Watching Party" and other measures, and request a reshuffling of the budget, such as adding costs for measures to spread infection.
