The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly has a magnificent hall. Although it is only a local assembly, the entire hall is nearly 950 square meters and is like a circular theater. The ceiling in the middle of the meeting hall is three stories high. For the people sitting in it,

It creates an extremely impressive visual impact.

At this time, the surrounding corridors were filled with reporters and spectators.

Everyone knows that the focus of today's parliamentary inquiry is Ishiwata.

Tokyo is the economic center of Japan.

Then Shinjuku City is one of the main arteries of Tokyo.

Shinjuku City's fiscal revenue and expenditure situation is undoubtedly a top priority.

Today, many well-known opponents are also gathered here.

For example, Congressman Ueshima Kokichi in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly. Congressman Ueshima was a construction engineer and later entered the political arena. In recent years, he was elected as a local councilor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and began to show his prominence, becoming a young force in the current opposition.

Emerging backbone.

Ueshima has repeatedly led the crowd in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly to successfully attack the bills of local authorities.

And this stone crossing is exactly the goal.

Of course Kamijima knew that Ishiwata had the ambition to return to the cabinet's official office. Although Ishiwata was demoted to Shinjuku City, over the years, he has gradually developed corresponding local forces and networks. If Ishiwata successfully returns to

The government agencies, coupled with the support of local forces, will definitely become a figure that cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, this stone crossing must be defeated.

Soon, Ishiwatari's figure appeared from the side passage of the hall.

Ishiwatari raised his eyes and saw that the seats of more than a hundred Tokyo Metropolitan Assemblymen were facing him coldly. The light from the ceiling chandelier was a bit dazzling. Behind the seats of the Assembly members, all kinds of reporters' long guns and cannons were facing this way. A huge wave of

The feeling of pressure comes like a tide.

Ishiwa fiddled with his tie slightly, then walked towards the podium with a thick stack of information in his hand.

The moderator of the assembly saw Ishiwata taking his seat nearby, and immediately announced, "Regarding the procedure for Vice Chairman Ishiwata of the Shinjuku City Development Committee to accept questions. Vice Chairman Ishiwata is now ready. According to Article 63 of the "Rules of Procedure of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly", "Tokyo

Article 163 of the Metropolitan Assembly Organic Law, and Article 355 of the Tokyo Shinjuku Ward Assembly Organic Law. When the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly has questions about the affairs of the district-level assembly, it may summon, but is not limited to, the district council.

Parliament, city hall, ward office and other relevant persons.”

"Before the start of this inquiry, relevant persons have been notified in an appropriate manner. The inquiry procedure is legal. Now the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly's consultation process regarding Mr. Ishiwatari has officially begun!"

Shangdao winked at an opposition congressman next to him.

Immediately, the opposition congressman stood up and said, "Mr. Ishiwatari, since you became the deputy director of the Shinjuku City Development Committee, you have approved more than 300 public projects. However, under your previous term, you only approved 50 public projects.

It was also during your term that due to the sharp increase in public expenditures, Shinjuku City spent its fiscal surplus funds from previous years for the first time, and the fiscal balance situation was extremely severe."

The two assistants beside the opposition congressman unfolded a large cloth in accordance with the rhythm of the speech.

This large cloth is printed with the approval dates of more than 300 public projects.

The opposition member turned sideways, pointed at the big cloth, and raised his voice: "What is printed on this is the date when each project was approved by Mr. Ishiwatari. Compared with your term of office, the average approval time for each public project is only 27 days.

, 27 days!! Mr. Ishiwatari, are you a superman? You have hastily agreed to spend public funds on a project in such a short period of time. Have you actually demonstrated the feasibility of these projects?!"

The opposition lawmaker didn't hold back.

Come up and get on full fire right away.

Ishiwatari was not affected by the opponent's tone. On the contrary, he smiled relaxedly and replied: "First of all, this congressman. The short approval time does not mean that we have not demonstrated the feasibility in detail. On the contrary,

This means that our work efficiency is extremely high. We respond extremely quickly to the wishes and requests of the citizens of Shinjuku City."

"As for the feasibility of the project you mentioned," Ishiwatari continued to answer, "each project strictly follows the corresponding legal procedures. From the initial establishment of the specific project, expert consultation, public discussion, to the final implementation

, we have all implemented the legal requirements for our district council. Every cent of public funds spent is carefully calculated, and has been scientifically evaluated and demonstrated. It is by no means that the feasibility of the project has not been demonstrated!"

After hearing Ishiwatari's answer, the opposition congressmen whispered to the assistants around them.

After a while, the opposition congressman showed a scornful smile, and he immediately asked his assistants to start distributing materials. These materials were also handed to Ishiwatari on the podium through his secretary.

These materials are the minutes of an expert consultation meeting on a public project.

This project is a subsidy demonstration on the maintenance expenditure of glass curtain walls of skyscrapers in Shinjuku District.

Originally, the maintenance of the glass curtain walls of these high-rise buildings should be the responsibility of the building owners. However, in the past, the construction of office buildings in Shinjuku City was too radical, resulting in a considerable degree of overproduction and vacancy rates. In order to ensure that property management can maintain normal maintenance, Shinjuku City decided to

Subsidies will be provided for the maintenance of glass curtain walls of qualifying skyscrapers.

One of the links is for experts to demonstrate the rationality of the subsidy amount.

Specifically, multiple factors such as the material of the glass curtain wall, difficulty of operation, and refractive index of the curtain wall need to be taken into consideration.

The opposition member pointed to the participation record of the expert meeting and loudly said: "On May 22 of that year, the meeting minutes showed that seven experts were supposed to be present, but three were actually present. The remaining four were monks or Ph.D.s who were professors at the university.

I want to participate in the meeting and express my opinions. I would like to ask Mr. Ishiwatari, where is the so-called reasonable argument you mentioned?! It is an expert meeting where even the experts themselves are not here!!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Many other opponents also took the opportunity to make noise and bang on the table.

Ishiwatari quickly flipped through the materials, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Mr. Congressman, I have to answer you. First of all, the record of the meeting you mentioned is completely confusing. This expert meeting is just for

It’s just to confirm the conclusions of the last discussion. There is no need for the experts to be present in person. In fact, for this project, have you ignored the detailed research reports submitted by various experts?!"

"Why do you want to seize such an insignificant meeting and make a big fuss?! And ignore the discussion results of many previous expert meetings!"

Ishiwatari quickly and forcefully fought back.

The opposition congressman looked at Shangdao, nodded slightly, faced the podium again, and said loudly: "Mr. Ishiwatari, then I want to ask you, why should citizens' public funds be used to subsidize office building developers and property developers?"

.Why is this same money not used to subsidize glass curtain wall cleaning companies and workers who clean glass curtain walls?! This can achieve the same effect!"

"Tell the truth, are you colluding with the developers of these office buildings!!!"

The hall echoed with fierce questioning voices.
Chapter completed!
