杉田官房副長官、在職最長に　３１３４日、古川氏抜く

　官僚トップの杉田和博官房副長官（８０）の在職日数が２５日、村山～小泉内閣で副長官を務めた古川貞二郎氏の持つ記録を超え、歴代最長の３１３４日となった。
　杉田氏は警察官僚出身で、警察庁警備局長や内閣危機管理監などを歴任した。第２次安倍政権が発足した２０１２年１２月に副長官に起用され、菅内閣でも続投した。各省庁の幹部人事を一元管理する内閣人事局長も兼務しており、人事と政策の両面で霞が関ににらみを利かすが、高齢を懸念する声もある。（2021/07/25-00:23）

Kazuhiro Sugita, 80, became Japan's longest-serving deputy chief cabinet secretary for administrative affairs Sunday.
   An influential figure for bureaucrats both in policy and personnel affairs, Sugita has been in the post for 3,134 days, overtaking Teijiro Furukawa.
   Sugita worked for many years in the security field, serving in such posts as head of the National Police Agency's Security Bureau and deputy chief cabinet secretary for crisis management.
   Sugita was appointed deputy chief cabinet secretary for administrative affairs when the second administration of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was inaugurated in December 2012.
   He stayed on at the post after Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga succeeded Abe in September last year.
