Multiple staff members have filed complaints with the Miyawaka City Fairness Committee, alleging that Mayor Hidetoshi Shiokawa made repeated power harassment comments, such as telling a male department head to resign. The complaints include nine instances, dating back to January this year. Mayor Shiokawa, admitting to some of the comments, expressed regret if his words were found offensive. He has a background as a high school teacher and a member of the prefectural assembly before being elected as mayor last year. Source: NHK
