On July 6, Komeito House of Councillors member Masaru Miyazaki urged Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government to provide low-income earners and families with financial assistance as the cost of living continues to increase. Komeito has been proposing that cash payouts be made available as quickly as possible. Prime Minister Takaichi, however, indicated that she was not enthusiastic over the proposal.
