In the rigging over the work of the water purification plant ordered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Waterworks Bureau, the Metropolitan Government has taken disciplinary action, such as suspension, for seven employees, and the 18 employees who have already retired have been accused of leaking the planned price to the operators.

In July, the Fair Trade Commission over the water treatment plant operation management work ordered by the Tokyo Metropolitan Waterworks Bureau made a request for improvement measures to the Governor Koike, Tokyo, for measures to prevent recurrence, etc., based on the government rigging prevention law. .

On this issue, Masahiro Nakajima, Director of Tokyo Metropolitan Government, met 27 journalists and announced the final report and the disposal of the staff by the special investigation team in Tokyo.

According to it, from 2010 to 28, the staff of the Waterworks Bureau leaked the planned price to the business operator, etc., but information was leaked, but it was said that the provision of convenience to the staff was not confirmed.

On top of that, three employees who had leaked information were suspended from six months to one month, and four employees who were supervisors were either reduced in salary or disciplinary.

The other 18 people who have been involved have already retired, but some former employees are asked to return their salary voluntarily, as it corresponds to a disciplinary action of up to 6 months of suspension.

In addition, the city is also considering claims for damages to the business operators, assuming that damage has occurred due to collusion.

At the interview, Director Nakajima apologized, "I apologize for the damage to the trust of the city administration, and that many employees have been disposed of, causing great concern and inconvenience to the residents."
