新大臣、河野太郎氏　A new minister, Toro Kono

今日の内閣改造で衆議院議員の河野太郎氏、52歳が国家公安委員長兼行政改革担当大臣、防災担当大臣に任命されました。
知り合いでも親戚でもありませんが、彼は私の開発した節電装置「節電虫」(http://www.office-ktk.jp/技術開発-1-電気関係/)を1990年台に購入いただいた大切な初期の顧客のお一人です。
Today’s Cabinet reshuffle has given Taro Kono, 52, a Diet lawmaker, a Cabinet post to take up the positions of national public safety commission chairman, administrative reform minister and disaster management minister.
He is neither a relative nor an acquaintance of mine, but he is one of my important customers who bought SOD (Switch on demand, http://www.office-ktk.jp/tech-develop-1/), a standby electricity saving gadget of my own development in 1990s soon after I had developed and put it on the market.
