Governor Saito Motohiko of Hyogo Prefecture appeared on NHK but the Q&A went wrong and he showed off his achievements, but the newscaster stopped him, claiming that searching for the accuser is the best response “also a legal issue” ※9/22 (Sun) 17:35 Daily Sports Governor Saito Motohiko of Hyogo Prefecture, who was passed a motion of no confidence by the assembly for causing stagnation in the prefecture’s administration due to allegations of power harassment, appeared on NHK’s “Kansai Netsushin” on the 20th. The questions and answers from the anchors and reporters covering prefectural government were not coherent throughout the event. The program was based on the theme of “Confessions of Hyogo Prefectural Government Officials: The Reality of Saito’s Administration” and featured interviews with prefectural officials. At the beginning of his live broadcast, Governor Saito apologized, saying, “I would like to sincerely apologize for the current situation in Hyogo prefecture government,” and “I am very sorry.” Announcer Yuichi Chikada said, “The staff mustered up the courage to answer questions. Among them were voices questioning the governor’s stance and criticism of the prefectural administration, but what do you think it is the governor has done that has led to this situation?” he asked. Saito said, “I’m sorry to all the staff who answered questions on the video and who had various thoughts about the matter. He began by saying, “I would like to express my gratitude for the work done to date,” but then began listing his own achievements, saying, “Since taking office three years ago, I have wanted to break free from the shackles of vested interests and run a prefectural government that is in the interests of the people of the prefecture.” Unable to bear it any longer, announcer Chikada said, “Governor! I understand your track record. I’ll ask you again…” he asked the same question again. However, Saito said, “I think we need to listen to those voices and the earnest feelings of our employees. That is true, but as we have carried out reforms so far…” he said, repeatedly boasting about his achievements.

>>1 He’s probably trying to run for governor again since he lost his job. Having him speak on TV is like an election campaign now. You shouldn’t invite him on TV until all the other candidates have been selected.
Even someone like Saito-kun will be an advisor to some company by this time next year, so I think the Japanese vested interests are ruining the country.
I watched this, but they didn’t answer any of the important questions. They talked a lot but had no substance. It was like the Aum press conferences of the past.
Trying to find the culprit without treating it as a public interest tip would be fatal. The deputy governor who interrogated him has resigned, but this psychopath continues to live on as if nothing had happened. Well, I don’t know if he will dissolve the government or resign, but there will definitely be a gubernatorial election.
He’s not happy with this turn of events, so all he can say is, “That’s what the staff says, but I’ve been trying my best.” I think the way the announcer posed the question is strange, it feels like they have a conclusion in mind and are trying to get him to say the answer they want.
The lawmakers who made up and spread rumours like begging for skiwear and power harassment in the yukata changing area, despite the fact that the people involved denied it, should also be pursued.
Are you going to brag about your achievements even though you’ve been faced with a unanimous vote of no confidence? You’ve got a really bad nerve. Go as far as dissolving parliament and make me laugh. It will be a huge inconvenience for the people of Hyogo Prefecture.
It’s strange that the accusers are seen as seekers of justice and truth, as saints. No wonder the governor can’t say anything more about the dead man, even if he wants to.
