Tokyo, Sept. 30 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike said Friday that the metropolitan government has failed to figure out the timeframe and responsibility for changes to soil-laying plans proposed to fight pollution at the planned Toyosu food wholesale market.
"It is difficult to precisely point" to when the decision was made to establish a space instead of laying fresh soil under key facilities at the market, and who was responsible, Koike said at a press conference, releasing the results of the government's investigation into the matter.
The transfer of duties in personnel changes was sloppy, Koike said, highlighting insufficient communications among staff and flawed decision-making processes.
"The biggest cause was a lack of governance and sense of responsibility," she said, stressing the need for reform to tackle the metropolitan government's structural problems.
As part of the reform, she expressed willingness to set up a task force comprising vice governors and bureau chief-level officials to scrap the vertically divided administrative structure and promote interdivisional information sharing.
