A senior government official with close ties to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga resigned Tuesday after being reprimanded over a wining and dining scandal that involved other officials and companies that they supervise.
The resignation of Yasuhiko Taniwaki, who played a pivotal role in fulfilling Suga’s policy pledge of lowering mobile phone fees, came along with a decision by the communications ministry to suspend him from work for three months.
