TOKYO (AP) - Japan's prime minister on Thursday replaced a Cabinet minister who resigned over a political funds scandal — the latest embarrassment for the troubled administration.
Genichiro Sata resigned Wednesday evening as minister for administrative reforms after admitting that a political support group had engaged in fraudulent accounting. It was the second high-profile government resignation in a week.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe chose Yoshimi Watanabe, a Cabinet vice-minister, to replace Sata.
