Prime Minister Naoto Kan held a briefing session for examiners representing Diet members at the Prime Minister's Office.

A briefing was held for working groups of examiners representing Diet members, who were appointed during the 11th meeting of the Government Revitalization Unit, on the implementation of the review of government programs targeting special accounts.

The Prime Minister said in his opening address, "During the 11th meeting of the Government Revitalization Unit yesterday, I appointed you to be examiners representing Diet members for the purpose of evaluating various administrative practices we see today. I would like you to approach the matter with a resolve to fundamentally cleanse and recreate Kasumigaseki (the central bureaucracy)."
