The Hatoyama administration decided 11 members of Gyosei Sasshin Kaigi or the Administrative Reform Council on October 6th. Gyosei Sasshin Kaigi (GSK) was newly established to find out wasting taxes, people’s money.
The chairperson of GSK is Prime Minister Hatoyama. The vice chairperson is Mr. Yoshito Sengoku, State Minister in Charge of Administrative Reform.
From the administrative side, with both Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Sengoku, Mr. Naoto Kan, Deputy Prime Minister and State Minister for National Strategy, Economic and Fiscal Policy, Mr. Hirohisa Fujii, Finance Minister, Mr. Hirofumi Hirano, Chief Cabinet Secretary, and Mr. Kazuhiro Haraguchi, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications have become the members.
From the non-governmental side, Mr. Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera and DDI (now KDDI), Mr. Yuzaburo Mogi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kikkoman Corporation (Soy Sauce Company), Mr. Yoshihiro Katayama, Professor of Faculty of Law, Keio University and former Governor of Tottori Prefecture, Mr. Tadayoshi Kusano, Board Chairman of RENGO or Japanese Trade Union Confederation Research Institute for Advancement of Living Standards, and Mr. Hideki Kato, President of Japan Initiative (JI) or Koso Nippon and Chairman of the Tokyo Foundation (TF) have become the members. JI and TK are think tanks located in Tokyo.
Mr. Hideki Kato is also the secretary-general of GSK. He will be in charge of GSK’s day-to-day operations.
What you may be surprised is that you see a name of “Kazuo Inamori”. He is a very prominent Japanese entrepreneur. In the Japanese business world, few expressed his or her support for the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) so far. But, Mr. Inamori had been clearly expressing his support for DPJ. He regularly meets Mr. Ichiro Ozawa, Secretary General.
GSK will hold the first meeting in this month.
I am very interested in how GSK will reinvent the Japanese government and administrative system.
