TOKYO -- Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is considering telling two veteran members ensnared in a fundraising scandal to leave the party and disciplining 37 others as embattled Prime Minister Fumio Kishida seeks to put the matter behind him.
"We intend to make strict decisions based on their moral and political responsibility, including whether they fulfilled the role the public expects of them as senior faction members," Kishida, who is also the LDP president, said Monday.
