If your appointed as a government minister there's an assumption that you might have some working knowledge of what your ministry does. Motoo Hayashi whose ministry deals with regulating nuclear power plants in Japan admitted he didn't know a damn thing about the issue.
Then there is Shigeru Ishiba Minister of Local Economic Revitalization who managed to introduce legislation that had been passed a year earlier.
Why are these two clowns in charge of anything. How hard is it to figure out your about to read the wrong bill to the Diet or have some limited understanding of what your ministry actually does?

It was an embarrassing day at the Diet on March 15 for a pair of government ministers, with minister for local economic revitalization Shigeru Ishiba reading out a year-old (and already passed) revisions bill, and Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Motoo Hayashi admitting a knowledge shortfall on nuclear power during Diet meetings.
Ishiba made his slipup at a House of Representatives special committee meeting, where he was supposed to read out a regional revitalization law revision bill, but instead read out revisions that had been passed last year. The content of the two documents is furthermore very different, with the present revisions bill concerned mainly with the creation of new subsidy types for local bodies' revitalization efforts.
