Prime Minister Fumio Kishida admitted Thursday morning to having submitted receipts that were missing required information when they were attached to a report on income received and expenditures incurred in his campaign for last year's House of Representatives election.
Kishida was speaking to reporters at the Prime Minister's Office in response to a media report that he is suspected of having violated the Public Offices Election Law by having attached 94 receipts without the names of payers or descriptions of the expenses.
"Some receipts were insufficient. I have instructed staffers at my office to ensure that this will not happen again," Kishida said.
