Following the death of a man (60), former head of the Nishi-Harima Prefectural Affairs Bureau of Hyogo Prefecture who distributed a document accusing Governor Saito Motohiko of “alleged power harassment,” the Hyogo Prefectural Government Employees” Union announced on the 9th that it plans to call for Governor Saito”s resignation. The union will meet with the vice governor on the 10th and submit a letter of request to the governor.
The Hyogo Prefectural Government Employees” Union explained, “We have come to the conclusion that the governor must be held accountable for failing to protect the prefectural employee who made the whistleblower complaint.” With this being an unusual development in which a public servants” union has demanded the resignation of a local government official, the situation surrounding the governor is likely to become even more severe.
The man was found dead in a private home in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, on the 7th. It is believed to have been a suicide. He was scheduled to appear as a witness before a special investigative committee on the 19th to investigate the veracity of the allegations.
In the document distributed to related parties, the man listed seven items, including the governor”s power harassment and receiving gifts from companies. As a result of an internal investigation, the prefecture determined that the allegations were slanderous, stating that “the core parts were not true,” and imposed a three-month suspension on the man as disciplinary action.
In response, voices of doubt about the neutrality of the investigation grew, and the prefectural assembly established a 100-article committee. The governor has so far denied the allegations.

★Governor Saito of Hyogo Prefecture, the largest in the country, continues to provide subsidies to Korean schools: “The children are not to blame” 2023/8/1 How can someone like this become a politician… We should investigate whether Japanese elections are being conducted properly.
He”s a governor from the Restoration Party, so this must be harassment from the left lol. He ran away from the real world because his lies would be exposed. In the first place, the fact that he committed power harassment hasn”t even been established lol.
I feel like the darkness is spreading beyond the real issue, and that the roots are even deeper than the original problem. I wonder what the previous president, Mr. Ido, was doing, and it”s scary that the local media is being vague and vague.
A by-election lol Ishimaru, Ishimaru, Governor of Hyogo Prefecture! lol This is like a revolution or a coup Wouldn”t it be better to declare a state of emergency?
It would be one thing if the power harassment was done out of consideration for the people of the prefecture, but in the case of this governor, it is power harassment for personal gain. It is absolutely unacceptable.
The issue is what this person was doing on his work PC. What was he doing on the job that would warrant his death? The police should investigate properly.
There wasn”t enough evidence to withstand a witness cross examination. The problem lies with the person who called him without doing a proper investigation.
