House of Representatives Budget Committee Liberal Democrats criticize jeering at introduction of Ritsumin "child allowance"

At the House of Representatives Budget Committee, when Nagatsuma, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's political affairs research committee, introduced a "child allowance" with no income limit under the former Democratic Party of Japan administration, the Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers jeered at the Diet, calling them "idiots." After criticizing it, Prime Minister Kishida said, ``We must reflect on what we should reflect on,'' and indicated his intention to enhance child-rearing support, including housing policies for the younger generation, under the current administration.

On the second day of the Diet, basic questions were held at the Budget Committee of the House of Representatives.

Regarding child-rearing support, Nagatsuma, chairman of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan's political affairs research, said, ``In 2010, the Democratic Party of Japan decided to provide a uniform child allowance of 13,000 yen to junior high school students without income restrictions. However, I will never forgive those idiots who made silly choices.” .

In response, Prime Minister Kishida said, ``It's true that there was a very intense exchange over child allowances. I humbly accept the indication that it may be, and I think that we must reflect on what we should reflect on."

In addition, Prime Minister Kishida said in relation to measures against the declining birthrate, "Efforts to raise the wages of young people and improve housing are very important factors in meeting the wishes of those who wish to marry and have children. It is important to recognize that further support is necessary, and to consider housing as one of child and child-rearing policies in a broad sense."

Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Kato commented on the fact that many of the branch chiefs of the National Pension Fund, which self-employed people join voluntarily, are former members of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Japan Pension Service, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. "I am aware that the National Pension Fund will take measures such as reviewing the content of the application requirements of 30 years of service and the content of the description that seems to indicate that work experience related to pensions is essential. there is," he said.

In addition, Prime Minister Kishida said, "Regarding amakudari, we must constantly review the way it should be from the perspective of putting the right people in the right place. I would like to check it once and confirm it."

Souvenir purchase for the prime minister's eldest son secretary "It can be included in the original work"

Yuichi Goto of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan commented on the fact that his eldest son, Secretary Shotaro, who accompanied Prime Minister Kishida on a tour of Europe and the United States, bought souvenirs and other items in an official car. When asked about the content, the two ministers replied, ``I refrain from doing so because it is a private matter.'' Is it official business to buy private souvenirs?

In response to this, Prime Minister Kishida said, "There is no doubt that I bought it with my own pocket money. Regarding buying souvenirs, if you consider who will do it, the parliamentary secretary will handle it. I believe that this can also be included in the original work of a parliamentary secretary, in other words, it is a public service."
