[Hyogo] Hyogo Governor Saito asked to make a reservation for dinner on the day, but was turned down and became enraged, saying, “I’m the governor!”... According to a survey of Hyogo Prefecture staff.
※2024/09/04 05:00 Yomiuri Shimbun Following the issue of Hyogo Prefecture Governor Saito Motohiko receiving internal whistleblower notices about his alleged power harassment, the Prefectural Assembly’s Article 100 Committee conducted a survey of employees, and the results of approximately 2,000 responses collected after the interim report were released have been revealed. Regarding the allegations of power harassment, about 70 people responded that they “actually know about it because they witnessed it, etc.” In the free-form comment section, a new suspicion was raised, with testimony that on the day of a meeting held at a hotel in which Governor Saito was attending, he asked to have dinner by reservation, and when the staff member refused, he became furious, saying, “I’m the governor.” Also, when inspecting facilities within the prefecture, the governor’s office requested that personal grooming be checked in regular restrooms. There were also testimonies that officials temporarily directed the governor to a multi-purpose toilet for people with disabilities, which was equipped with a mirror and a hand-washing station.

Staff: “Please leave quickly (as it is closing time).” Governor: “I am the governor.” Committee member: “In the cafeteria at the Prefectural Civic Center, when they told him to leave because it was past closing time, he said, ’Why should I have to leave even though I’m the governor?’” Saito: “I didn’t say that. A member of staff loudly told me to quickly leave, so I was surprised and introduced myself as the governor of Hyogo Prefecture.”
Humans have emotions, so it’s not a problem if they’re just angry. There’s no point unless there’s a concrete example of someone getting angry and punching someone or throwing something at someone. Is this case going to end soon because we’ve run out of material?
>>28 I wonder if the Prefectural Public Workers Union alone can provide such a large number of operatives? They must be cooperating across prefectures.
