Following the latest resignation from Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's Cabinet, it has become almost impossible for the government to pass a second supplementary budget for fiscal 2022 before the end of this month as originally planned.
"The government will make every possible effort to pass a supplementary budget and other important bills as quickly as possible," Kishida said to reporters Monday in response to a question about the possibility of an extension to the Diet session, which is scheduled to end on Dec. 10.
