AK Party Ankara Deputy Osman Gökçek alleged that there was corruption in the tender for shrouds and burial bags conducted by the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality following the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş. In response to these allegations, the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality used very strong language against Gökçek.
The Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, which has been controversial due to exorbitant concert fees, is now in the spotlight again with allegations of fraud over the coffin and body bag tender... AK Party Ankara MP Osman Gökçek held a press conference in the Turkish Grand National Assembly regarding the issue, claiming that the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality is "engaging in corruption in coffin purchases" by entering the hall with a coffin, a coffin set, and a funeral bag.
"THE UNETHICAL OFFSPRING OF A POLITICAL CORPSE"
While the repercussions of this statement continue, the first response came from the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality, which has been under scrutiny. In the press release, it was stated that the relevant allegations are being investigated, and some have already been examined: "A madman who has made politics his dwelling, the unethical offspring of a political corpse, is trying to engage in charlatanry by attaching the values of the Nation to his slanders. Regarding the allegations reflected in the public; some of the claimed issues have been examined by the Inspection Board. Other matters have been immediately initiated for investigation. However, we would like to emphasize that; the address for anyone claiming to have evidence is clear; the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office."
"IF YOU LET A THIEF FORGET HE IS A THIEF..."
It should be known that; those who commit crimes in the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality are never protected. We also find it beneficial to remind the public again; if you let a thief forget he is a 'thief', he will start to see himself as a monument of virtue."
