Fukuda knew nothing

From the Yomiuri:
The Liberal Democratic Party’s House of Representatives Gunma Constituency No. 4 branch, represented by Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, received 6 million yen in donations prior to the 2003 and 2005 lower house elections from a company and its subsidiary that won public works project contracts, it has been learned. Under the Public Offices Election Law, lawmakers are not allowed to receive donations for national elections from companies that have won contracts from the government. …
In response, Fukuda said he knew nothing about how Fujita and its group company had won the contracts.
Of course not. How incredibly crass for someone to suggest a politician would know something about contributions received from a contractor who had previously gotten huge public work contracts.
