Now we have new machine purchases. We completed the purchases for MESKI. It is time for the missing of the Metropolitan. We need a lot of construction equipment. If you do not have a work machine, you cannot do this work. We used approximately 200 thousand tons of asphalt last year. We are going better this year. Our manufacturing has now become better quality. The roads are made in higher quality. When we came to management last year, we lacked these preparations. April is the month when road construction begins. No preparation was made. Believe us, we were like fish out of water. You have no materials, tools are inadequate, we had great difficulties. Despite that, we quickly recovered. We have used all the facilities we have and have done around 200 thousand tons of asphalt work. It will be much more this year and next year. ”

This is social municipalism and being intertwined with the public. Food aid of 166 thousand 250 parcels we distribute is important and has not been seen in the history of Mersin. This is an indication of how much our municipality gives importance to its citizens and the needy. We're not growing what we're doing, that's what it should be. These will continue increasingly. Until today, we are trying to do better, to increase citizen satisfaction even more. And we do all this with your support. ”

Let's make a road, but let's do it high quality. If that road deteriorates again after a year, it means that we do not do our job well, we also waste resources. It is possible to see this in past applications. We don't want to make the same mistake. ”

We cannot be grateful to anyone, but we cannot be grateful. If they do, there are courts. We describe our problem. If we walk in the parliament together with Cumhur Alliance, we will solve the problems much more easily. We are also struggling for service. We do not miss anything in front of anyone's eyes. We account for everything in detail. Our debt has decreased by 800 million TL and this is important. The amount of debt of MESKİ and Metropolitan, which was 3 billion TL, decreased to approximately 2 billion two hundred million. This means that there is now a fiscal discipline. Let me give you an example: the amount of fuel used by our Metropolitan within a year is around 120 million of 30 million MESKI. Total 150 million TL. When we came to management, this fuel was bought with a 1 percent cut. 1 percent compensation was made at the refinery's exit price. We are getting a 13.3% crush in the tender we are currently doing. Our savings in our annual fuel consumption is only 17-18 million TL. You have to know the value of this. We are trying to spend the money in the smartest way. We strive to get the best quality goods and services in the most affordable and reasonable payment plan we receive. We are aware that the plague is too big. These coins are entrusted to you. ”

One is that the citizen uses illegal water, that is, steals, and the other is because our networks are unhealthy. Water goes to waste. Our job is to renew unhealthy networks. The duty of my citizen is to ensure that this water that is stolen is not stolen, to help us. If we achieve this, if we decrease our leakage rate, your invoices will decrease. We want the contributions and help of our citizens in this matter. ”

Noting that the municipality provides equal service to every neighborhood, every citizen without making any discrimination, Mayor Seçer emphasized that they will not allow any municipal employees or bureaucrats to discriminate.

Our municipal employees have to protect the interests of the municipality and the interests of the public. We need the help of our citizens in this matter. If you see those who use our municipal vehicles inappropriately, let us know those who disrupt the services, deliberately do the services badly, and treat you badly in order to bring down the reputation of our municipality. Let us separate our ways. Let's start the necessary action. Please check them on our behalf. Report incomplete service, ill-treatment, and misuse of the municipal vehicle ”.
