Prime Minister's `` no problem '' renewed prosecutor's retirement renewed emphasis on legitimacy February 26 19:18
Regarding the retirement of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutor's Office, Prime Minister Abe reiterated his legitimacy in the intensive deliberations of the House of Representatives Budget Committee, stating that there was no problem.
At the end of last month, the government changed the interpretation of the law so far and extended it based on the National Public Service Law at the end of last month.
"The prosecutor has the powerful authority to arrest even the prime minister, and the Cabinet, the Prime Minister, and the like must not allow the retirement at any time due to arbitrary decisions. And called for a reversal of the decision.
In response, Prime Minister Abe reiterated that "the decision was made by the Cabinet based on the necessity of the Public Prosecutor's Office to perform its duties, but there is no problem."
"The rules of the National Personnel Authority say that the rules of the National Affairs Democratic Party say that after extension of work, in principle, you cannot be transferred to another post. If you make Attorney General Kurokawa the Attorney General, it will be against the commentary on the rules." "We have never been instructed by Prime Minister Abe or Chief Cabinet Secretary on human resources."
