Attorney Mori `` The prosecutor's retirement extension The interpretation of the law was properly changed, '' March 9:15:04
Over the retirement of the Tokyo High Prosecutor's Office, the Minister of Justice Mori said in an intensive deliberation of the Budget Committee of the Upper House, the past government's opinion that the retirement system could not be applied to prosecutors is not clear. He emphasized that the change in legal interpretation was made properly.
Among them, Hiroyuki Konishi, who belongs to the Constitutional Democratic Party and other factions, revisited the retirement of the Attorney General of the Tokyo High Public Prosecutor's Office, and in 1981, a law was introduced to introduce a retirement system for national public servants. After showing the government's question and answer set at that time, he said, "While there is a unified government opinion that prosecutors cannot apply the retirement age extension, why is retirement age extension possible?"
On the other hand, Minister of Justice Mori said, "The question and answer set contains the interpretation at that time, but the wording of the provisions of the law does not state that the retirement extension system will be extended or not extended. , The reasons and the course of the review are not trivial. "
In addition, Minister Mori stated, "In consideration of raising the retirement age of general public officials, he interpreted that the extension of retirement age would apply this time, because the purpose of the retirement extension system extends to prosecutors as well." He emphasized that the interpretation was changed appropriately.
