Komeito representative Yamaguchi said that in response to the problems surrounding the faction's political funding party, the Liberal Democratic Party should urgently present a concrete plan for amending the Political Funds Control Act, and that the amendment would require false entries in income and expenditure reports. He emphasized that it is essential to introduce a ``joint party system,'' in which members of the Diet will also be held responsible in the event of a violation.
On the 10th, Komeito held a meeting of representatives of the party's local organizations, and at the meeting, Representative Yamaguchi said, ``The question is how the Liberal Democratic Party will demonstrate its ability to self-clean itself.The relevant members will give full explanations, and we will take steps to prevent a recurrence.'' I strongly hope that the Liberal Democratic Party will promptly present concrete plans for institutional reform toward the future."
Furthermore, ``Strengthening of the ``correspondence system,'' in which not only accounting officers but also politicians are responsible for false entries in income and expenditure reports, is an excuse for politicians to say that ``the secretary or accounting officer did it and I don't know about it.'' I am determined to lead the way in building consensus in order to accomplish the revision of the Political Funds Control Act during this session of the Diet.''
At the meeting, representatives of local organizations voiced the opinion that ``the people are paying close attention to this issue'' and called for the party to proactively communicate that it is taking the initiative in working on political reform. I did.
