The claim that the audit committee report was prepared with artificial intelligence raised tension at the Kütahya Municipal Council meeting. During a verbal dispute between Mayor Eyüp Kahveci and Council Member Tahsin Görkem Lekesiz, security personnel were called to the hall. The meeting, where harsh words were exchanged, was briefly adjourned.
The meeting of the Kütahya Municipal Council witnessed tense moments due to discussions over the audit commission report. Mayor Eyüp Kahveci's statement that the report, containing 50 allegations of irregularities, was prepared with the support of artificial intelligence increased the tension in the council.
Council members who took the floor during the meeting made mutual evaluations regarding the preparation method and content of the report. Some members reacted by saying, "Don't you trust us?" while criticisms about the report's preparation process drew attention.
"THIS IS NOT YOUR HORSE FARM"
The tension escalated further due to a dispute over the right to speak. A verbal argument broke out between Mayor Eyüp Kahveci and Council Member Tahsin Görkem Lekesiz after Lekesiz's request to speak was not granted.
During the argument, Lekesiz's use of the phrase, "This is not your horse farm" further heightened the tension in the hall.
SECURITY OFFICERS WERE CALLED TO THE HALL
According to allegations, as the argument grew, Mayor Kahveci wanted to remove Lekesiz from the hall, leading to security officers being called to the meeting room.
It was learned that in response to Eyüp Kahveci's words, "I'll take you outside shortly," Lekesiz replied, "Come on, let anyone who can take me out try." Lekesiz also reacted with the words, "You cannot throw me out."
"IF THERE IS AN ACCUSATION, THE RIGHT TO SPEAK MUST ALSO BE GIVEN"
Municipal Council Member Sevde Nur Çakıcı also reacted to the ongoing disputes. It was stated that Çakıcı used the words, "If you are making an accusation, you must grant the right to speak."
Throughout the meeting, mutual interruptions occurred from time to time, and members were seen reacting loudly to each other. After the tension, the session was briefly adjourned.
