Nagasaki, Aug. 9 (Jiji Press)–Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on Sunday stopped short of commenting on whether she will reshuffle her cabinet or the lineup of executives at her ruling Liberal Democratic Party. “I have nothing to say at the moment (on the matter) because we are now making maximum efforts in response to a huge earthquake that hit Kumamoto Prefecture,” she told a press conference in the southwestern Japan city of Nagasaki. The 7.1-magnitude temblor struck Kumamoto, southwestern Japan, on July 28, measuring up to 7, the highest level on Japan’s seismic intensity scale. The press conference was held after Takaichi, also president of the LDP, attended earlier in the day a peace memorial ceremony in Nagasaki marking the 81st anniversary of the Aug. 9, 1945, U.S. atomic bombing of the city.
