Two ministries threw the ball: it was not discovered who increased vehicle inspection rates

When inspection fees for passenger vehicles increased from 507 lira to 1,130 lira, SP Group President Selçuk Özdağ asked the Ministry of Treasury and Finance: “Why was the 130 percent increase made?” he asked with the motion.

The Ministry responded: “The issues mentioned are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.”

Following this response, Özdağ again asked the Ministry of Transportation the reason for the 130 percent increase. The answer was interesting: “All work and procedures related to vehicle inspection fees are determined by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance.”

Reacting to the clashes between the two ministries, Özdağ said: “Do you really think you are running a country? “This level of frivolity and incompetence is too much even for you.”

WHY WAS THE 130 PERCENT INCREASE MADE?

In his parliamentary question submitted to the Ministry of Treasury and Finance on June 14, Özdağ said: “Why did motor vehicle inspection rates increase by 130 percent at the beginning of the year, far above the official figures of inflation? He asked the question: “What is the reason why the normal inspection of passenger vehicles increased from 507 TL to approximately 1,130 TL?”

FINANCE ‘RESPONSIBLE TRANSPORTATION’

Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek gave the following response to Özdağ on July 26: “Mr Özdağ, first of all, I would like to thank you for your written question to our Ministry. The issues mentioned in the parliamentary question are the responsibility of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

TRANSPORTATION ‘RESPONSIBLE FINANCES’

Özdağ asked the same question to the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure on August 8 and received an unexpected answer: “All works and transactions related to vehicle inspection fees; It is determined by the Ministry of Treasury and Finance within the scope of article 35 of the Road Traffic Law No. 2918 and is implemented by our Ministry.”

ARE YOU RUNNING A COUNTRY?

Özdağ reacted to the two ministries blaming each other for the exam fees:

* Today I will give an example of how the government governs Turkey without state seriousness and indifference. I submitted a parliamentary question to the government regarding vehicle inspection fees, which have been the subject of intense complaints from our vehicle-owning citizens and have almost become a “theft”.

* Since the topic was the new increase in valuation rates, I naturally directed my questions to the Minister of Finance, Mr. Mehmet Şimşek. He responded very tactfully (!). His response: The recipient of the broadcast was the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure.

* This time I asked the Minister of Transport the same questions. The Minister responded that the recipient of the issue is the Ministry of Finance. Now I ask: Did you adopt this frivolous and indifferent attitude after becoming a minister, or was it always like this?

*Do you really think you are running a country? This level of frivolity and incompetence is too much even for you. Receive information as soon as possible about your responsibilities and answer the questions we ask you with the seriousness of the state… Please!
