Because this guy was corrupt and abusive, an employee filed a whistleblower complaint…
The employee who reported the whistle-blower was identified and disciplined, and 2 employees committed suicide as a result of the disciplinary action.
Other than that, what I did was no joke…
1. In the last gubernatorial election, four prefectural executives said to their acquaintances, ‘Let’s elect Governor Saito’ and conducted a pre-election campaign before the election period.
2. Governor Saito will personally visit local organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce in February 2024 and say, ‘Elect me’ in the next gubernatorial election.
3. Receive various items, such as high-end coffee machines, and gift certificates from companies or organizations that you go to inspect (even the ones given to employees around you are gulped down by yourself. Sometimes, they put a few bags of fruit or other things that do not suit your taste and throw them to you to eat) )
4. Suspicions of receiving various political funds were raised.
5. Multiple abuse of power
5.1 If he doesn’t like something, he gets angry and bangs on the desk.
5.2 I had to take the elevator, but the employee didn’t notice and closed the door, so I went up and said, “Hey, you idiot!” I get angry while doing it
5.3 Instruct executives and employees to work via chat or message regardless of whether work hours are over or on holidays.
5.4 I went on a business trip to a museum, but there was a sign prohibiting vehicle entry, so I had to stop the car and walk about 20m. After seeing that the no-vehicle entry sign was being moved with his hand, he was furious and said, “You can just clean it up and go.” When returning home, employees removed the vehicle sign and picked it up in front of the building. A museum employee said, “So far, there has been no case of a car entering after the sign was removed…”
5.5 At the place where I went on a business trip, I prepared crabs as gifts for employees, but the governor ate them all by himself, even those for other employees.
5.6 If you are denied a same-day reservation or service at a place such as a restaurant, say “I’m the governor of Hyogo Prefecture!”
In addition, revelations continued every day, including various types of corruption, anger, abuse of power, and stealing.
The governor’s answer is interesting
“I don’t remember.”
“I’ve never done that.”
“I did say those things, but I didn’t say them in anger and I warned them.”
Hyogo Prefecture conducted its own survey of employees, and 40% responded that they had witnessed or heard stories of the governor’s abuse of power.
In the current National Assembly, all 86 members asked the governor to resign.
Meanwhile, content that shocked the Japanese archipelago was reported yesterday…
Reporters asked, “Why are you crying?”
Governor Saito: “I am angry that my own shortcomings have led to this situation.”
Reporter: “No, shouldn’t we shed tears out of regret for the mistakes we’ve made so far or for the employees who committed suicide?”
Governor Saito: “No. The tears shed now are for the Liberal Democratic Party or the Restoration Party.”
This shocked the Japanese archipelago.
