舛添都知事 退職金2195万円“ゲット” 夏のボーナスは381万円:
政治資金の私的流用問題の責任を取り辞職を申し出た東京都の舛添要一知事(67)に対し、都議会は15日、全会一致で同意した。辞職は21日付。知事には在任期間2年4カ月分の退職金として2195万6480円が1カ月以内に支払われることになる。また、夏の期末手当(ボーナス)として30日に381万3992円が支給される。期末手当は6月1日時点で勤務していることが条件となっている。
給与(月額145万6000円)については、13日の総務委員会の集中審議で、都政を混乱させたとして全額返上を表明。給与カットには事前に条例をつくる必要があるため、条例案を議会に提出したが、15日に撤回した。東京都によると、返納を望んでも、公選法が公職者らに禁じる「選挙区内での寄付」に当たる可能性があり、難しいという。

Masuzoe to get ¥22 million retirement allowance after quitting Tokyo governorship
Kyodo, Jun 16, 2016
Departing Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe, who tendered his resignation Wednesday over a political funds scandal, will receive ¥22 million in retirement allowances, according to officials of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Masuzoe’s exit will become official next Tuesday after he served two years and four months. His retirement allowance is expected to be paid within a month, the officials said.
But the payment is likely to raise eyebrows of Tokyo taxpayers, after the embattled governor was accused of misappropriating millions of yen in political funds for private use. His lawyers admitted expenses worth ¥4.4 million were used “improperly,” but maintained no illegal conduct was involved.
Before tendering his resignation Wednesday, Masuzoe had even proposed to return all his salary on a voluntary basis to sooth public anger.
Citing technical procedures, however, the metropolitan government officials said the retirement allowance will be paid.
Masuzoe had submitted an ordinance to the metropolitan assembly to allow him to return all his salary, but he retracted it Wednesday after he offered to step down, the officials said.
Now there is no legal basis to deprive him of his retirement allowance, which is calculated based on his monthly pay and the years he served as governor, they added.
Masuzoe had no choice but to resign as more than three-quarters of the 123 assembly members supported a no-confidence motion against him, making its passage certain if it was put to a vote.
If it had passed, Masuzoe would have been required by law to either resign or dissolve the assembly for a snap election, but the dissolution of the assembly was considered unlikely.
