The Japan Business Federation (Nippon Keidanren) plans to keep tabs on the pledges made by major political parties and hold them accountable to the promises they make, according to its president, Hiroshi Okuda.
Okuda told Kyodo News in a recent interview that Nippon Keidanren plans to conduct a review every six or 12 months of the policy pledges made by both the ruling and opposition camps.
"If by, say, next June we find that the policies pursued by the governing party are different from the pledges they made, we will change our stand accordingly," Okuda said.
