Okinawa Governor asks for construction work of US base to be halted while panel examines its legality

Onaga said, referring to his landslide victory in the gubernatorial election held last November, “I think it was a vote of no confidence against the former governor who approved the landfill application. I will continue to ask for a halt to the work in Henoko while the panel conducts its examination.”
