Governor Saito Motohiko, who was re-elected in the Hyogo Prefectural gubernatorial election, attended the Hyogo Prefectural Office for the first time on the 19th and held his inauguration ceremony. At the inauguration ceremony, he spoke to prefectural staff and citizens about his gratitude and aspirations. [Governor Saito Motohiko's inauguration ceremony comment] I have been inaugurated as Governor of Hyogo Prefecture from today. I would like to once again sincerely apologize to many prefectural residents and related parties for the concern and anxiety I have caused about the prefectural administration, including the document issue. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff, led by Vice Governor Hattori, who supported and worked for the Hyogo Prefectural administration during the 50 days I was absent. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff. I am also very sorry for causing anxiety and concern to many staff members about the prefectural administration. This time, I have received the trust of many prefectural residents, won the election, and have once again been able to work as Governor of Hyogo Prefecture. Many people have come today. I would like to once again express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support and strength. We will now be starting a new Hyogo prefectural administration. For the past three years, I have worked hard to reform the prefectural government and to implement policies that are in the interest of the people of the prefecture, including supporting the younger generation to create a new Hyogo Prefecture. However, I cannot do my job alone. It is only with the support of all the prefectural staff and other related parties that I am able to do my job for the prefectural organization and the people of the prefecture, and this is something that I have really thought about this time and I will keep this in my heart even more. Once again, I will work as the Governor of Hyogo Prefecture. I would like to work hard for as many people as possible, so I hope that all the staff will work together with me from now on. I will also do my best to communicate and communicate with you all more carefully and courteously. I think it is important to discuss the policy direction I want to take not only with the executives, but also with the mid-career and young people, share our thoughts with everyone, and move in the same direction, so I hope that the people who will continue to support Governor Saito and the Saito administration will be the prefectural staff, so I will work closely together. This does not only include the staff of the main office, but also the Prefectural Affairs Bureau, the Prefectural Citizens Center, and all the staff. This also applies to the Board of Education, the police, and other administrative committees. I would like to work together as one team. To that end, I will be reborn myself from now on. I feel like I am starting from scratch. Above all, I would like to do my best with a humble attitude, so please continue to support me. I am also human, so even though I am starting again from now on, I think there will still be areas where I am lacking. There may be many things that I would like to do this way. In such cases, I would like to hear your voices, whether it be from Vice Governor Hattori, or directly from you, such as "Governor Saito should do this a little more." It is a painful story to hear, so I think it is important that I listen sincerely, take it to myself, and use it as fuel to work hard to run a better prefectural government, so please do your best. The administration of the prefecture will be at a really important stage from now on. In the midst of this, this issue has caused a lot of burden on the employees during this time. In particular, there have been some very harsh criticisms of the prefectural employees on the Internet. However, what I want many of the prefecture's residents to know is that the prefectural employees are working really hard and diligently, doing their best every day to run the prefecture. In order to make up for the 50 days that were blank, it is important that we have thorough discussions with everyone, especially about next year's budget, and that we work on good policies, good projects, and good initiatives. We will also work together with the prefectural assembly, responding carefully to the issues. I think it is really important that the governor, prefectural employees, and the assembly work together as two wheels of a car to create a good Hyogo Prefecture. The election is over, so we will all work together as one team. I would like to move forward with this with everyone. And above all, together with all the citizens of the prefecture, we will make Hyogo even better. We will move forward. I sincerely pledge to run politics and prefectural administration for the citizens of the prefecture. Today marks a new start for me, the Saito administration, at the n
