Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has proposed a series of reforms to the Political Funds Control Law in response to recent scandals involving political slush funds. The reforms include reviewing existing legislation, toughening penalties for lawmakers involved in wrongdoing, and forfeiting unreported political funds. The LDP, along with its coalition partner Komeito, are discussing these draft proposals, which aim to address issues highlighted by recent controversies over the misuse of political funds by LDP factions.
