Shiho Makoto: "The evaluation of the government's performance should be made by the next generation"

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shiho Makoto questioned the rice policy of the Kishi Cabinet during a speech in Tokyo on November 26, saying, "Japan's food self-sufficiency rate is only 38%. As a country, can this situation really be sustained in the long term?" He also expressed doubts about the policy's deviation from the rice production increase strategy promoted during his own cabinet. Regarding the high popularity of the Kishi Cabinet, he said, "The evaluation of a government's performance does not depend on public opinion surveys, but should be made by the next generation."
