Thorough transparency of political funds
・Complete ban on political funding parties held by policy groups.
- Introducing external auditing of policy groups' income and expenditure reports.
・Thorough compliance.
▶Stricter punishments will be imposed in party regulations for members of the party who are arrested or indicted.
▶ Disposal to the member of the Diet in the event that the accounting officer is arrested or prosecuted.
▶ Promote bank transfer of income from organizations related to members of the Diet, such as political funding parties, and online submission of income and expenditure reports.
▶Regarding the transparency and openness of political funds, the establishment and tightening of strict liability systems, etc., after serious discussions with each faction of each party, we will implement legal reforms such as amending the Political Funds Regulation Act.
●How policy groups should be - Eliminate so-called "factions" and transform from "cliques" to true "policy groups." The key is for the policy group to completely separate itself from "money" and "human resources."
・Prohibition of parties for political funds, prohibition of lobbying and consultations such as creation of recommendation lists for ministerial appointments, etc., and appointment of diverse human resources including young people and women, etc. will be clearly stated in the Governance Code and checked by the Governance Committee.
・The party will investigate violations of the Political Funds Control Act, etc. by policy groups, and request suspension of activities for a certain period of time or dissolution depending on the case.
With the inclusion of ``resolving 'cliques''' as an item, attention will be focused on how the debate will proceed.
