In the latest in a series of bold moves to right the many wrongs at the contaminated Toyosu market site, Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike on Friday announced a major reshuffle of several officials responsible.
Koike said she will remove Ryoichi Kishimoto from his position as the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market. He has headed the team since 2014.
Akinori Muramatsu, an official in the metropolitan government's Bureau of Industrial and Labor Affairs, will replace Kishimoto on Saturday, Koike said.
