Kazuo Yana received an appointment in the September reshuffle of Japan's Takaichi Cabinet.
Translated paragraph context
Under intense public pressure, Japan's Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Liang Hesheng announced his resignation on October 14. Liang Hesheng has recently been embroiled in a succession of scandals involving inappropriate remarks and suspected election law violations. He had previously been disciplined over a “slush fund” scandal while serving as a lawmaker, but was nevertheless appointed during the September reshuffle of Japan's Takaichi cabinet. Yoshitaka Saito, chair of the Diet Affairs Committee of Japan's opposition Constitutional Democratic Party, criticized Sanae Takaichi, saying she bears major responsibility for the inappropriate personnel appointment.Original Chinese quote
