Don't personalize more than ¥100 million of taxpayers' money for the joint funeral of the late former Prime Minister Nakasone

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, many people, including exhausted medical personnel, the unemployed, require some economic relief. There is no way to stop the spread of the virus, and with more infection to come in the fall and winter, there is an urgent need for measures to deal with the medical crisis and the people's economic distress.

The government and the LDP held the joint funeral of former Prime Minister Nakasone during this situation. The media reports that the government and the LDP contributed about 200 million yen to former prime minister Nakasone's funeral. Mr. Nakasone passed away about a year ago at the age of 101, and his funeral has already finished.

If a joint funeral is to happen again, I would like to ask for volunteers to hold it at their own expense. I believe that our precious tax money should benefit the living who are now struggling to get through a difficult time and not for the one who died after many years away from public office.Only those who recognize Nakasone's accomplishments should raise the money to hold his funeral.
