The recent decision by the AKP-led Elazığ Municipality reignites discussions about how public resources are utilized.

While the municipality struggles with debt and relies on rented vehicles for cleaning services, the decision to grant unlimited authority for vehicle acquisition for the Police and Gendarmerie raises questions about local governance priorities.

CHP council member Murat Akkoç emphasized that the municipality fails to deliver essential services, stating that such expenditures contradict the needs of the public. He urged a focus on social projects instead.

The debt situation of Elazığ Municipality and its resource allocation have sparked significant public debate. Local governments must balance their priorities with the needs of the people.

The expenditures and tenders made by AKP municipalities frequently become subjects of criticism, leading to political debates.
