"Unlike sworn witnesses in the Diet, individuals will not be charged with perjury even if they give false testimony."
So... they can lie without penalty, and the worst they will get even if found guilty, is a "harsh reprimand". In other words, absolutely no punishment for what they have done, and of course, as such, we know that Kishida's "pledges" to change things will certainly have the desired effect.

Very regrettable. He will do his best from now, I’m sure. (Sucking air through my teeth and tilting my head)
Oh, I hope he bowed deeply. They should fix the problem.

About time.
Better late than never, I guess.

I’m not a fan of Kishida but this measure would have some teeth. If he can get it through, I will be impressed but I won’t hold my breath.

The question, continually unanswered, is how much authority does Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida control in the his crucial leadership roll, which the people of Japan supposedly voted in democratic elections?
At no point could this so called "parliamentary ethics panel" be described as independent, given statutory investigative power or authority, transparent, as any public inquiry should be to bring a level of public confidence guaranteeing the outcome will restore any trust of the public.
For years factions have been openly running political slush funds. For what purpose still remains a total mystery an enigma to the electorate.

Politics = Corruption.
It is a given no matter what country there is always an under currant of corruption.
