Summary
A former city employee faces serious charges after allegedly misleading the Hawaii Foodbank about federal CARES Act funding, leading to $1.6 million in food purchases. His attorney argues he was just trying to help — securing the first round of funds and rushing to alert the foodbank about a second opportunity that was later canceled by the government. No personal gain was involved, and the defense insists Kishida’s actions were in good faith, caught in bureaucratic chaos. He’s set for trial in August, pleading not guilty.
