Abe to tap Akaba from LDP's coalition partner as land minister

I expect Ministers to be appointed based on their experience and qualifications for the position, not at a favour to someone. Only by speaking up against this kind of favoritism can Japan be considered a modern country.

Better move to a new country if you think things here are ever going to change. Ministerial posts here are given out as political favors for those who support the PM. The higher the position, the more "loyalty" that has been shown to the "Dear Leader",
