In connection with the bid interference case uncovered in Kiryu City,
it has been discovered that five related companies, including Otashi Kanto Construction and Gunei, donated a total of more than 30 million yen to political party branches in 2023.
Regarding these donations, various factions in the prefectural assembly have raised voices saying, "Once the illegality is confirmed, we should consider returning the donations," and "Of course they should be returned. The relevant assembly members should be held accountable."
The five companies donated to 19 political party branches in and outside the prefecture, many of which were represented by politicians from the Liberal Democratic Party.
