Yasemin Açık, the partner of the company for which 751 million liras were overpaid for the Arifiye-Karasu railway project, became a candidate for the AKP MP in Elazığ.
The Court of Auditors had revealed that although 23 percent of the work on the Adapazarı Arifiye-Karasu railway line project was completed, the contractor company was paid two times the tender price. Yasemin Açık, a partner of Seza Construction Industry and Trade Company, is a candidate for the AKP parliamentary seat in Elazığ.
Although the Arifiye Karasu railway project in Adapazarı was tendered for 360 million liras, only a quarter of the line was completed. However, 825 million liras were paid in eight years.
According to Evren Demirdaş from Sözcü, the Court of Auditors’ report on the Arifiye-Karasu railway project, which was tendered in 2011, revealed that the contractor company Seza Construction Industry and Trade Company was overpaid by 751 million 538 thousand liras.
According to the Court of Auditors’ report, the total amount to be paid under the contract was TL 320 million 840 thousand. The company’s partner, Yasemin Açık, is a candidate for the AKP parliament in Elazığ.
Only 23 percent of the line’s infrastructure was completed, but the contractor company had to be paid 73 million TL, while 825 million 138 thousand TL was paid, including price differences. In other words, the company was overpaid by 751 million 538 thousand pounds. The payment amount has already been more than twice the tender price.
In the report of the auditors of the Court of Auditors, it was stated that the bridges, viaducts, and other structures on the 73-kilometer-long double-track railway infrastructure construction were intended to be built in 750 days for 320 million. But the contractor company was paid 825 million 138 thousand TL. The report also revealed that the ground reclamation work was completed in an area of less than 20 km and that the physical realization rate of the work could only reach up to 23 percent.
One of Seza Construction’s partners, the AKP’s candidate for the Elazığ parliamentary seat, Prof. Yasemin Açık, is a medical doctor. In 2015, Açık was again an AKP parliamentary candidate from Elazığ. However, she was not nominated then. (NEWS CENTER)
