The 100Article Committee of the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly began questioning witnesses yesterday, the 5th, to investigate the authenticity of the accusatory documents against Governor Saito Motohiko, prepared by the former Director of the Prefectural Affairs Bureau. Former Vice Governor Katayama Yasutaka appeared at 10:00 a.m. and revealed that the Governor, who obtained the accusatory documents in March, had instructed him to "investigate them." [Former Vice Governor Katayama] "The Governor asked me to investigate the documents as soon as possible. He showed me the contents and the actual documents. I think he was the one to investigate, so there is no doubt that the Governor gave the instructions." Governor Saito, who appeared on the 30th of last month on suspicion of power harassment, will appear again as a witness in the afternoon. The Governor answered questions on the morning of the 6th. [Hyogo Governor Saito] "The 100-Article Committee is an important occasion, so I will answer all that I can." The September session of the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly begins on the 19th, and there is a possibility that multiple political parties will submit a motion of no confidence against Governor Saito, so attention is focused on what Governor Saito will say.
