関電は経営陣刷新を＝「他の株主と連携も」－大阪市長

　松井一郎大阪市長は１日、関西電力幹部らが福井県高浜町の元助役（故人）から多額の金品を受け取っていた問題に関し、同社の筆頭株主として経営陣や役員の刷新を求めていく考えを示した。市役所で記者団の質問に答えた。
　松井氏は「バックマージンと疑われるようなプレゼントを受けた方々が、会社の信頼を回復できるとは思えない」と強調。「信頼を取り戻すためには代わってもらうのは当然だ」と述べた。
　松井氏は２日に予定される関電の記者会見を見極めた上で、現経営陣が退陣しなければ「（臨時株主総会などで）他の株主とも連携しながら関電の体質を改めていきたい」と語った。（2019/10/01-18:02）

Osaka Mayor Ichiro Matsui urged Kansai Electric Power Co. on Tuesday to revamp its management after company executives received money and goods from a former official in a nuclear plant host town in central Japan.
   Kansai Electric said Friday that 20 executives received money and goods worth 320 million yen from a late former deputy mayor of Takahama, Fukui Prefecture. The town hosts the company's Takahama nuclear plant.
   "I don't think people who received presents that are believed to be back margin will be able to restore trust in the company," Matsui told reporters at the municipal office in Osaka, western Japan.
   "It's natural for the company to replace them to rebuild trust," he said. His municipal government is the top shareholder of Osaka-based Kansai Electric.
   The 20 executives include Chairman Makoto Yagi and President Shigeki Iwane, according to the company's Friday announcement.
