Former Üsküdar Mayor Hilmi Türkmen, who was a guest on Haberler.com, harshly criticized the administration of Sinem Dedetaş, stating, "In one year, Üsküdar Municipality has not produced a single work. They have closed most of what we left behind because they cannot operate it; they lack the knowledge and skills."
Former Üsküdar Mayor Hilmi Türkmen was a guest of journalist Neşe Berber in the Haberler.com studio. Making striking statements about the agenda, Türkmen harshly criticized the current Üsküdar Municipality under the management of Sinem Dedetaş.
"THE PROJECTS WE LEFT BEHIND WERE CLOSED"
Stating that the current administration has not accomplished anything in a year, Türkmen said, "In one year, Üsküdar Municipality did not produce a single work. They did not do any work. They have no projects. They closed most of what we left behind."
Türkmen continued by stating that the projects implemented during his term were shut down: "We created a Children's Village. There is no example of it in the world. They closed it as soon as they arrived. They could not operate it. We have 5 Nevmekan facilities in Bağlarbaşı. They closed that too. They are closing it under the pretense of repairs and renovations. Why? They cannot operate it. They do not have the knowledge or skills to manage it."
"SERVICE QUALITY HAS DECREASED"
Türkmen also pointed out the science center in Ünalan Neighborhood, saying, "We had Science Centers in our Ünalan Neighborhood on the border of Kadıköy. We are among the top 5 in the world. New York, Paris, London, Berlin, and Üsküdar Science Center. If you were to build it now, it would cost 5 billion. We had 17 libraries that were open 24 hours. Now they have made them available for limited hours. They have closed them at night and no longer open them. The quality of service has decreased. They do not collect the trash properly in the streets."
"THEY DID NOT NAIL A SINGLE NAIL IN URBAN TRANSFORMATION"
Highlighting the earthquake risk, Türkmen stated that no construction has been done within the scope of urban transformation in a year, saying, "They did not nail a single nail in urban transformation in a year. Despite being an earthquake zone, they did not build a single residence in Üsküdar in a year. Citizens will build it themselves. They do not give permits to contractors. There is not a single contractor who has received a permit from Üsküdar Municipality in a year."
"THEY MADE THE SWIMMING POOLS COED"
Türkmen also stated that the current administration has made the swimming pools coed, saying: "I built 17 semi-Olympic swimming pools. As soon as they arrived, they made the pools coed. We had separated them as male and female. They made them coed with the CHP mentality as soon as they arrived. They said men and women will swim together."
Türkmen stated, "The CHP has no concern for service. They have no teams or staff. They do not understand the subject. They do not know municipal management. They cannot fulfill the entitlements of the work I have done."
