The tenders given by AKP municipalities to Akit raise significant questions about how public resources are used. The direct procurement by Şahinbey Municipality in Gaziantep for Akit Television highlights a lack of transparency.

Şahinbey Municipality awarded a tender for a blood donation campaign held on May 30 solely to Akit Television. This situation is seen as a misuse of public funds in favor of a partisan media outlet.

CHP council member Hasan Şencan reacted strongly to the tender awarded to Akit. He stated, "This rag is a publication that is against Atatürk. Public resources should not be used in this way."

In addition to tenders given to Akit, similar practices for events like children's festivals are also noteworthy. This situation reveals the support of AKP municipalities for partisan media.

The direct procurement tenders made by AKP mayors are drawing significant public backlash. Uğur Kalkan stated, "These practices show that public resources are being used to keep partisan newspapers afloat."
