Independent panel finds Hyogo governor's whistleblower punishment illegal

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of Saito.

Thinning out the ranks of "elite" politicians who rule as if they're the Lords of their Fiefdoms, is to be welcomed.

Politicians are Public Servants - ie serve the public - and not there to exercise commandments.

That Saito was re-elected by the citizens of Kobe was an act of demagoguery displaying the extreme naivety of the electorate.
