Translation

On March 23, the Upper House Budget Committee called Yasunori Kagoike, who has expressed his intention to step down as chief of Osaka-based school operator Moritomo Gakuen, to give sworn testimony.

Kagoike said he received a ?1 million donation from first lady Akie Abe on Sept. 5, 2015, during her visit to the kindergarten to give a speech. He said the prime minister¡¯s wife said ¡°It¡¯s from Shinzo Abe¡± as she handed over the money. Speaking under oath, Kagoike said he ¡°believes politicians were¡± involved in the ?800 million discount from the appraised price of the plot of state-owned land. The prime minister has denied making the donation. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga repeatedly denied the donation and any hush-up during a news conference.
