It turned out that a member of the prefectural assembly of Kumamoto Prefecture said, "I'm going to kill you," to a taxi driver who took a ride home from a restaurant last month.
The driver resigned on the 6th because he submitted a damage report to the police.
The person who resigned as a member of the Diet was the Kumamoto Prefectural Assembly member, Tokuo Inori.
On the morning of the 6th, Mr. Ide submitted a request for resignation at the chairman's office of the Kumamoto Prefectural Assembly, and it was accepted on the 6th.
According to the taxi company, the lawmaker took a taxi in front of a restaurant in Minami Ward, Kumamoto City around 8:30 pm on the 24th of last month and instructed him to go to his home. He said to the driver, "I'm going to kill you."
In addition, the driver submitted a damage report to the police because he took a picture of the driver's driver's card with a smartphone and said, "I will sue."
After the submission, the lawmaker told the press, "I caused a lot of trouble to the supporters' association and members of the assembly due to my careless actions."
Last August, the lawmaker apologized for smoking in a non-smoking stand while watching the game at the summer national high school baseball game held at Koshien Stadium.
Taxi driver's boss "I want you to reflect"
The boss of the male taxi driver in which prefectural assembly member Ide rode said, "'Uchi-Koroshi' means 'hit and kill.' I was.
On top of that, he said, "The smoking at Koshien has caused such a big uproar, and I think we should be more careful about our actions than ever before. I want you to recognize the weight of your words again."
