Boyfriend out of bidding for disaster housing
After the earthquake that destroyed Adiyaman, tenders for mass housing were held in two regions of Adiyaman. Mücahit Hamza Ekşi, the founder of the Ahes İnşaat company, which won the first tender for TL 999 million, is the former deputy mayor of TOKİ and son-in-law of AKP deputy mayor of Fatih, Mehmet Özçelik. Ekşi is also a board member of the Ekşioğlu Foundation, founded by Istanbul Red Crescent Provincial Chairman Kadem Ekşi. Hamza Ekşi’s father, Süleyman Ekşi, donated 5 million TL to the Turkey One Heart campaign. The other bidders are Halil Koç and Mustafa Feyzi Koç, known to be close to the AKP and have received many offers from TOKİ.
INVITATION BID
The tender for the Construction of 614 Housing Units, Infrastructure and Landscaping Works for 1 Stage at Örenli Mahallesi in the Central District of Adıyaman Province was held by the Mass Housing Administration (TOKİ) on February 28, 2023. Ahes İnşaat, a member of the board of directors and owned by the Mücahit brothers Hamza Ekşi and Ebubekir Ekşi, won the tender, which was held by invitation.

Tender of 6 billion TL in 11 years
The company Ahes İnşaat attracts attention with the offers it has received from the public in recent years. It should be noted that the company, which seems to have received many offers from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of National Education, the Ministry of Youth and Sports and municipalities with AKP, received the most offers from the Administration of Housing Development (TOKİ), which is affiliated with the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate. Ahes İnşaat has received more than 6 billion TL of public bidding in the last 11 years.
The infrastructure works were not for foreigners either.
