Ldp President: Osaka Gov and Moritomo Gakuen-Affiliated

ldp president: Abe's testimony came on the same day a new video emerged of his wife, Akie, speaking to the school in April 2014, asking the students if they knew who her husband was and hearing them say he was the man who protected Japan from China, according to The Japan Times. Meanwhile, Osaka Gov. Abe, who is also LDP president, told a diet session that the most the government can do is cooperate thoroughly with the Board of Audit, which is independent of the Cabinet, in the fact-finding efforts. Ichiro Matsui indicated Thursday it was highly unlikely the Moritomo Gakuen-affiliated elementary school for which the land was purchased would open as scheduled next month due to concerns about garbage still on the site. The heart of the matter is whether the selling price was proper. In an exchange in the Upper House Budget Committee with the Japanese Communist Party, Abe, facing demands from within and outside his party to deal with the growing scandal, said he would support an outside investigation into why the land was sold so cheaply.
