Hyogo Prefecture Governor Saito Motohiko “Strict guidance is also necessary”...Regarding the allegations of power harassment, he maintains that it was “guidance in the course of work.”
At a regular press conference on the 20th, Hyogo Prefecture Governor Motohiko Saito said regarding the interim report of the employee survey conducted by the Prefectural Assembly’s Article 100 Committee regarding the issue of internal whistleblower allegations against him, “I will refrain from commenting as I am not aware of the contents.” Regarding the new allegations of power harassment that came to light in the interim report, the company did not change its previous claim that it was “work-related guidance.” The survey was conducted from July 31st to August 14th, targeting approximately 9,700 employees, with approximately 6,700 responding. The interim report compiles responses (from 4,568 people) received by 9:00 a.m. on the 5th. The total number of people who had seen or heard about the alleged power harassment was 38.3% (1,750 people). Regarding suspicions of gift-receiving, 20.7% (946 people) said they had seen or heard about them. In the free-form responses to the questionnaire, many people submitted allegations that were new to those raised in the written allegations by the former head of the Nishi-Harima Prefectural Affairs Bureau (who died in July), such as, “He missed an elevator at a facility he was visiting and scolded the staff member, saying, ’Can’t you even press the elevator button?’” At a press conference, Governor Saito emphasized that he had no recollection of having done anything like that regarding the elevator incident, and added, “It is my job, so (as a general rule) it is necessary to provide strict guidance.” The 100-Article Committee will begin questioning witnesses on the 23rd, focusing on the power harassment allegations, and is scheduled to question Governor Saito on the 30th. At a press conference, Governor Saito said, “We will respond to the investigation (by the 100-Article Committee) and move prefectural administration forward.” Yomiuri Shimbun Online 2024/08/20 13:30.
I hope all the departments and divisions will say whatever they want, and say things like, “I was just stating my opinion,” or “Punishment? Do as you like.” I’ll play to my heart’s content.” Wouldn’t that be okay?
>>38 This is it! If most of the prefectural officials do this to the governor against such a stubborn opponent, he might realize what they’ve been doing.
“He missed the elevator at a facility he was visiting and scolded the staff, saying, ’Can’t you even press the elevator button?’” That’s the kind of thing Hitler would say if he lived today lol I think both the Restoration Party and the civil servants are at fault I hate the Restoration Party, but the civil servants are also resting on their laurels And they’re the ones who kept voting for the LDP without facing the reality of society and causing Japan to decline Both are at fault.
Ruthless leadership: The governor, who works for the people of the prefecture, is also in charge of supervising employees. There’s no vice governor? Is this a regional city? That must be tough!?
>>47 Recalling a governor of a prefecture is not realistic. Without a vice governor, he is hated by his staff and will have to endure the rest of his term on pins and needles.
