Education ministry panel to shelve decision on scandal-hit vet department

After the Kake institution was awarded a school project in the deregulation zone in January, the city assembly of Imabari decided to give land to the operator for free and provide a 9.6 billion yen subsidy together with the Ehime prefectural government toward building the department there. The city had acquired the land for about 3.68 billion yen.

That's a ¥13.28 billion handout to Abe's friend. And you know these local funds come from block grants given by the national government. Unbelievable. How is this man still prime minister? Depressing . . .

In deregulated parts of Japan you get land for free and subsidies from government. Oxymoronic.

cronyism and nepotism.

iworld99: "cronyism and nepotism."

TIJ.

"Abe had received a salary and been listed as an executive member of the Kake institution."

no conflict of interest then?

But Blattamexiguus, that was only when Abe was a young struggling neophyte politician, and he needed extra money to make ends meet!

Ahhhh so the truth comes out...that Abe has had his hand in the cookie jar all of this time.

Now will he or any politician be punished for living for free all that time...
