Mayor of Chiyoda Ward before the testimony at the Hyakujo Committee Gathering news media and explaining their claims June 17 7:51
Tokyo Metropolitan Chiyoda Mayor was buying a room for about 100 million yen that wasn't sold to the general public. It turned out that they gathered some news outlets and explained their claims that there was no problem. The section manager apologized that "it was inappropriate for publicity because it contained the personal contents of the ward mayor."
Masami Ishikawa, the Mayor of Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo (79), owns an approximately 100 million yen room of an apartment in a high-class residential area in the city with his family, but this room is not sold to the public and owns the land. It was revealed that it was a room called "Business Cooperative Housing Unit" that was provided to people and customers.
The mayor attended the Hyakujo Committee, which had a strong right to investigate, for the first time on the 16th, and gave a testimony, but four days before that, he instructed the public relations hearing section manager to gather some news media and said, "There is no problem." Interviews with related people revealed that he explained his own claim.
It means that at this time, we distributed the materials about the apartment that we have not submitted to the Hyakujo Committee.
A person in charge of the ward said, "It should be argued at the committee's place, and it is a public-private confusion that the public relations were instructed to provide an opportunity for explanation."
About this, the ward mayor said, "I thought that I would like to convey my opinion in advance and have them understand it", and the public relations hearing section manager apologized that it was "unsuitable for public relations".
