Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly interviews all members and coordinates to investigate financial exchanges

After the former chairman of the Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly stated that he paid more than 18 million yen in response to a request from the Liberal Democratic Party's prefectural assembly group before assuming the position of chairman, the prefectural assembly is making arrangements to conduct interviews with all members by outside experts in order to investigate whether any money was exchanged over the chairmanship position.
