Japan's former Finance Minister Nobuhisa Sagawa has made a sworn testimony in parliament, denying there were any instructions from Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe or any related officials to change documents on a controversial land-sale. But Sagawa declined to comment on the motives behind altering the documents. Our Terrence Terashima has more from Tokyo. 

It was an interesting diet session. It had one of the highest public interest, of who, what and how the scandals unfolded. Whether the Prime Minister, his wife, or cabinet officials had an influence in a questionable land deals, and who conspired in altering the over 300 places in documents, that possibly pointed suspicions towards Abe and his wife, Akie Questioning the former top finance ministry bureaucrat, was supposed to shed a light to the cronyism and cover-up scandals However, this session was also watched with skepticism. That nothing will be revealed. Former Japanese tax agency chief Nobuhisa Sagawa, declined to comment on motives for altering the documents because he is a subject of investigations into the matter.

"They may have been no instructions from the Prime Minister's office or someone higher in the government. But bureaucrats are always mindful of superior's intensions. They may have read between the lines from the political intensions."

"I want it to reveal more. Oppositions should put more pressure and I want Abe and Aso to be more sincere and not put all the blame on Sagawa alone."

Shinzo Abe's support rate plunged between 10 to 14 points in public polls. Protesters gather daily in front of the diet building calling for the Abe cabinet to step down. Analysts say that it may be a stale mate. Nothing new is expected to come out from the diet questioning.

TERRENCE TERASHIMA TOKYO "The opposition camp are expected to demand more questioning session for Sagawa and demand Akie Abe to attend the same session. While the ruling block are hoping for a closure and move on with other matters at hand. But either way, Abe has lost power considerably within the ruling LDP. Terrence Terashima, CGTN Tokyo."
