A special investigative committee set up by the Hyogo Prefectural Assembly released a report Friday detailing alleged inappropriate practices by Gov. Motohiko Saito including power harassment, or workplace bullying.
The interim report included new allegations that Saito "got furious for missing an elevator at a site he was visiting and yelled at prefectural government staff" and that he "took home crab prepared for staff" after hearing that the staff declined to receive it.
The report showed the results of a survey of 9,700 prefectural government employees over whether they have witnessed or heard of Saito's power harassment or inappropriate requests for goods or services.
