The Tokyo Metropolitan assembly is to set up an investigative panel to look into Governor Naoki Inose's questionable acceptance of money from a scandal-tainted organization.
The assembly's general affairs committee has been grilling Inose on why and how he received about 500,000 dollars from the medical group Tokushukai shortly before the gubernatorial election last December.Inose has maintained it was a personal loan, and that he has since returned the money. But he has repeatedly changed his explanation.
On Tuesday, the head of the general affairs committee, Koichi Ito, said they've questioned Inose for a total of 20 hours, and many assembly members have pointed to his lack of credibility.
