To discuss including revision of the law to enable daily payment of "document transportation expenses" for members of the Diet

Regarding the so-called documentary transportation expenses paid to members of the Diet, each party plans to take measures such as donations because it is not understood by the public that the full amount of last month was paid to the members who were elected for the first time in the previous House of Representatives election. , It is expected that discussions will be held, including the revision of the law that will allow the payment to be made on a daily basis.

Regarding the so-called document transportation expenses, which are paid 1 million yen a month to members of the Diet, the full amount for the last month is paid to the members who were elected for the first time in the House of Representatives election on the 31st of last month, and both the ruling and opposition parties are citizens. There are widespread voices saying that they cannot understand.

Following the announcement by the Nippon Ishin no Kai on the 15th that it will donate as a party, both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party will give the full amount of last month to newcomers and former members of the Diet on a daily basis from the dissolution of the House of Representatives. We are requesting a donation of 550,000 yen, and other opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party are also considering measures.

In addition, while the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Democratic Party for the People, including the Nippon Ishin no Kai, are aiming to revise the law by saying that the system should be changed to a system that pays on a daily basis according to the number of days in office, the ruling party also shows a willingness to respond and will be convened next month. Discussions are expected to be held for the Diet.

On the other hand, there is an opinion within the opposition party that it is unclear how to use the document transportation expenses and demands a drastic review such as requiring the submission of receipts, and it is expected that the system should be an issue in the ruling and opposition party talks.
