Admin’s Note

The recent refusal by Mayor Takubo to submit her diploma is increasing public interest in allegations of academic fraud. Her decision to withhold the document due to facing criminal charges could significantly impact her political standing, making future discussions crucial. As Chako mentioned, it’s important for citizens to consider what is necessary to build trust amidst calls for transparency. The response from the city council is also a point of concern.
