Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries trained staff at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 26th about the disposition of six executives of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for being entertained by a former representative of a company that is an interested party. We emphasized the idea of ​​thoroughly preventing recurrence by strengthening the rules and regulations.

On the 25th, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries announced that it had been entertaining six executives from a former representative of a major egg production company who was charged with bribery at home for providing cash to former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Yoshikawa. I decided to dispose of salary reductions and warnings.



Regarding this, Minister Nogami said at a press conference after the Cabinet meeting on the 26th, "I gave instructions to the staff in charge and instructed measures to prevent recurrence so that such a situation would never happen again."



In addition, at meetings where both politicians and stakeholders are present, regardless of the amount or cost burden, the rules will be strengthened so that they will be notified to the minister, etc., and training for executive staff will be conducted to prevent recurrence. I re-emphasized the idea of ​​thoroughness.



In addition, since politicians such as former Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Yoshikawa also participated in the dinner, he said, "It is important for politicians themselves to respond in a straightforward manner."



On this issue, Vice-Minister Edamoto, who was disciplined for a reduction in salary, will attend the intensive deliberation of the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives on the 1st of next month as a reference, and Minister Nogami said, "About the Diet's answer. It is important to answer sincerely. "
