IMM'S DEBT INCREASED BY 704 PERCENT IN 6 YEARS

There is currently a fuss being made in the CHP saying there is nothing. I mentioned the irregularities in the commission report. In addition, there are Court of Accounts reports. The Court of Accounts examines the previous year every year and publishes its report. It published the 2023 report last. It has not published the 2024 report yet. There are irregularity detections in dozens of tenders in the 2023 report and some of the files currently under investigation regarding the detections in those tenders are also the files mentioned in the Court of Accounts reports. There are also irregularity detections in the civil service inspector reports. The process regarding advertising tenders in particular started in 2021 and it was requested by the civil service inspectors to be examined and made an investigation subject as a deposit report by the inspectors.

"THERE WILL BE MORE FIRES IN IETT FROM THIS TIME ON"

When the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality was transferred to the Republican People's Party in 2019, IETT was the company with the youngest fleet in the world. The average age of IETT vehicles was five and a half. During the time of the late Kadir Topbaş, over 2,000 brand new buses were purchased. No new buses have been purchased yet, only a few Akia buses were purchased, but they have also started to experience major problems. The bus fleet is 11 and a half years old. Unfortunately, from now on, we will witness more fire incidents and road rage incidents on IETT buses.
