ただし書きなし領収書９８枚　岸田首相「適正な支出確認」

　岸田文雄首相の事務所は２４日、昨年衆院選の選挙運動費用収支報告書に、ただし書きがない領収書を９８枚添付していたと明らかにした。首相は官邸で記者団に「領収書の記載の一部に不十分な点があった。今後このようなことがないよう事務所に指示した」と語った。
　首相の報告書を巡り、文春オンラインは、宛名やただし書きが空白の領収書を多数添付し、公職選挙法に違反する疑いがあると報じていた。
　首相は、報告書自体には支出の目的を記載したと説明。支出目的はコンビニの飲食品代や文房具代などで、「適正な支出だったことを確認している」と述べた。領収書については「出納責任者の確認漏れ」があったとした。
　公選法は、選挙運動費用に関し「支出の金額、年月日及び目的」を記載した領収書などを報告書に添付して、選挙管理委員会に提出するよう義務付けている。（2022/11/24-09:04）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's office admitted Thursday that a financial report related to his campaign for last year's House of Representatives election included 98 receipts with no purposes of payment written on them.
   "There were some inadequacies on the receipts," Kishida told reporters. "I have instructed my office to ensure that such inadequacies will never happen again."
   The move followed a recent report by the Shukan Bunshun magazine that the prime minister's financial report for the Lower House election included many receipts where the names of the payers or the purposes of payment were not written, in suspected violation of the public offices election law.
   Kishida explained that the purposes of expenditures were written in the report itself, and that he confirmed that the expenditures, including for food and stationery goods, were "appropriate."
   The lack of information on the receipts was due to "our cashier's failure to check," the prime minister noted.
