At 4.61 million dollars the loss amounts to 4.61 million dollars from the supply of fuel without a tender, announced this afternoon by RTC chairman Toufan Erhiurman, who finally received the contract documents from the "prime minister", Unal Ustel, after a protest this morning inside and outside the "prime minister's office".
As reported in the occupied territories, Mr. Erhiurman announced that the loss is $4,615,000 and that at least for another two months - based on the contracts - fuel will be supplied by these companies without a tender. Much more money than the people's money was spent, he added, and this was done deliberately.
He announced that they will follow "the path of justice" for the financial losses and irregularities from which the "people" are suffering.
At the insistence of the president, "MPs" and members of the PKK, an opposition delegation had a meeting at noon with "Prime Minister" Ustel and "government" partners Fikri Ataoglu and Erhan Arikli. Immediately after the meeting, Erhiurman said "we were left without electricity because there was no planning" and had announced that they would study the contracts and figures and make public the losses suffered by the "people" from the supply without tender of fuel for electricity generation.
In a written statement, also this afternoon, "Prime Minister" Ustel said that necessary investigations would be made into why the energy crisis occurred, and if there was any negligence, those responsible would be held accountable. "Let no one try to take political advantage at this time of crisis on this issue."
He added that the "electricity authority" had been facing problems for years, to which was added that of fuel supply.
He found this major crisis before him when he assumed the position of "prime minister" saying that fuel had to be purchased immediately so that power generation could continue recklessly. He trusted, he added, the "electricity authority", the management of which he appointed jointly with the "finance minister", Sunat Atun.
