OYAMA, Shizuoka Pref. -- The Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) will draw up an outline by the end of September detailing how to proceed with its new system for promoting political donations, Chairman Hiroshi Okuda said Friday.
Okuda said Nippon Keidanren will announce a priority agenda it wants politicians to pursue later in the year, comprising 10 to 15 measures featuring numerical targets.
If the House of Representatives election takes place this fall, the lobby group hopes that showing the outline may affect parties' pledges, Okuda told a news conference on the last day of Nippon Keidanren's annual summer seminar.
