Following the discovery of a government-sponsored bid-rigging case in Fujioka City, Mayor Arai submitted a bill to amend the ordinance to temporarily suspend salaries and end-of-term bonuses and restrict the payment of retirement benefits when a special-class employee is arrested, and the bill was passed. This amendment was initially intended to apply to former Deputy Mayor Tsukamoto, who was indicted on charges of government-sponsored bid-rigging, but since he was dismissed on the 6th, it will apply to future cases.
