It has been revealed that Hirai Takuya, the country’s Minister of State for Japan’s Information Technology Policy and Head of the Digitization Agency, was taken to ultra-luxurious meals several times by the telecommunications company Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT).

In the statements made by Japan’s well-established news source, Kyodo, it was stated that the Head of the Digitization Agency, Hirai Takuya, accepted the allegations that he was “involved in violating the rules of public ethics”.
