Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan says that his Cabinet will resign en masse next Tuesday following the Democratic Party’s leadership election, if the Diet enacts a bill on renewable energy as expected on Friday. The bill is the last one of 3 conditions cited by Kan for his resignation, according to Japanese (NHK WORLD). At an informal Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Kan said he wants his ministers to be prepared because things will proceed as planned if there are no special changes in the political situation. Kan said sooner or later, his Cabinet will be succeeded by the next, and there will be more than clerical affairs to tend to. He also said that vice ministers and parliamentary secretaries of each ministry should hand over their duties from the viewpoint of managing and overseeing their offices. Japanese prime minister instructed the ministers to be prepared so that outstanding problems and affairs are properly handed over.
