Two days after saying he never used a computer, Japanese cybersecurity minister Yoshitaka Sakurada has now contradicted himself, claiming he uses a computer at work.
The 68-year-old is responsible for overseeing cybersecurity preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Games and his comment on Wednesday at a parliamentary committee meeting has caused embarrassment and concern over Japan’s preparations for the high-profile global sporting event.
At a news conference on Friday, Sakurada moved to clarify his comments.
«Referring to the comment I made on Nov 14, I do not use computers at home on a daily basis, but at the office, I obviously use it for various work,» he said.
