I am from Ishiara and the townn has been turned into a goons paradise led by this economic saboteur acting under instructions from political opportunist mukuji. He walks around with some goons threatening residents. He has stopped any collection of county fees and wants to be collecting for mukunji instead. He wants businesses to pay him and his goons protection fee . He is bringing down Ishiara economy down and creating a wedge between us and government yet him and mukunji have nothing to offer. I am relocating my business from ishiara and am not alone unless this stops.
