A gaggle of Hyogo Prefectural Meeting members plans to submit a no-confidence movement in opposition to Gov. Motohiko Saito over his alleged energy harassment to the meeting’s session in September, sources stated Saturday.
The fourth-largest group within the native meeting has 9 members, primarily these belonging to the Constitutional Democratic Get together of Japan, the main opposition celebration.
Hyogo residents’ mistrust of the governor has “reached a climax,” stated Shiho Mukaiyama, coverage chief of the group. She indicated a plan to hunt cooperation from different teams, saying, “We hope all teams within the meeting will submit a no-confidence movement with a willpower.”
For its passage, the no-confidence movement must be supported by three-fourths or extra of meeting members current at a gathering for voting. If handed, Saito must select between resigning as governor or dissolving the meeting.
Saito denied the alleged office bullying in his sworn testimony at a particular investigation committee of the meeting Friday. Within the testimony, the governor, amongst different issues, defended his choice to punish a prefectural worker who had compiled paperwork accusing him of energy harassment.
