公器と透明性
行政機関や大企業等、社会には公器とされる組織が存在する。法的に縛られなくとも公器には、対外的に当然の如く求められる事項がある。
その中に組織の透明性がある。組織の透明度が高い事は、外部の人の信頼を得るし、組織腐敗の防止にも繋がるだろう。
このように考えると、自民党の裏金問題がクリアにならない事は何とも残念である。国民に奉仕すべき国会議員が、信頼を勝ち得る術を知らない事は国家として憂慮すべき事である。
組織を私的に利用しようとする者は必ず透明性を嫌うし、透明度が高いと私的に利用しようという動機を持たなくなるだろう。
以上の意味で、自民党が未だ裏金の余地を残してしまった決断は国民の信頼を得る機会を失ってしまったと言って良いだろう。
Public Institutions and Transparency
There are organizations in society that are considered public entities, such as government agencies and large corporations. Even if they are not legally bound, there are certain requirements that public entities are required justifiably.
Among these is organizational transparency. High organizational transparency will gain the trust of outsiders and will also help prevent organizational corruption.
Considering this, it is a pity that the LDP's secret fund problem has not been cleared up. It is a cause for concern for the nation that Diet members who should be serving the people do not know how to gain their trust.
Those who seek to use an organization for personal purposes will always dislike transparency, and if there is a high level of transparency, they will have no motivation to use the organization for personal purposes.
In this sense, it is fair to say that the LDP's decision to leave room for slush funds has resulted in a lost opportunity to gain the trust of the people.
