In addition, the NHK report also mentioned that:

「問題はない」と述べた県議会議員は、問題があると訴える言葉を使用した。

Overall, the reports suggest that there may have been a cover-up or attempt to downplay the issue of the county assembly member's unauthorized use of public funds, but the exact extent of the cover-up or the motivations behind it are not fully clear from the reports provided.
