As you know, a topic we can call ‘bulky natural gas bills’ from Istanbul fell on the agenda last week.
Bills are not reduced on time, up to 70/75 days and fluffy natural gas bills that eventually fall in front of Istanbul residents.
Later, EMRA launched an investigation into İGDAŞ and the municipality tried to explain this investigation with ‘political motives’ and moved the business to the point of ‘we are punished for being CHP’.
First, let us transmit the statement by the Spokesman of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Murat Ongun, without interruption:
“The investigation open to İGDAŞ is related to the duration of the invoice, not the” Reduction of the invoice more than the consumer price. “During the epidemic, the meter reading process naturally takes more than a month. This is also the case across the country. However, EMRA has opened an investigation only for İGDAŞ. “
The first sentence is true right.
The investigation has not been opened because more bills were reduced than consumption.
However, if you have noticed in the statement, after the defense was made that the cut of the bills was delayed due to the epidemic, expressions are used that mean “Istanbul is specially selected and launched an investigation despite the fact that this it’s everywhere. “
EMRA PRESIDENT YILMAZ: IF YOU COME FROM ISTANBUL, I DO THE SAME.
Is this the “truth of work”?
Are bill delays occurring due to the crown outbreak not only in Istanbul but in all cities?
A second question:
Although invoices were issued late everywhere, did EMRA take action only for Istanbul and only for İGDAŞ?
I called the EPDK President Mustafa Yılmaz, I asked him these questions.
Why, only in the Istanbul question did Yılmaz answer as follows:
“All the complaints came from Istanbul. I put my feet firmly on the ground. If the same complaints come from other provinces, I will also investigate them. It is one of EMRA’s liabilities to make payment schedules for all the companies we program. “
What do these words mean?
As stated by the spokesman for the Istanbul Metropolitan Mayor, Ekrem Imamoglu, who is also the right hand man;
1-There were no delays in invoices anywhere in 81 provinces, except Istanbul.
2-EMRA initiated an investigation process related to İGDAŞ in line with its obligations, as it received intense complaints only from Istanbul and not from other places.
So what do we find in terms of ‘short story’?
At least we can say:
Therefore, the Istanbul Municipality wants to go out of business presenting a problem that it cannot fulfill its responsibilities towards the inhabitants of Istanbul in the field of “political punishment”.
The following questions can be asked about the topic we are focusing on:
For example, shouldn’t it be reasonable to meet late bills due to the crown epidemic?
We also discussed this with EPDK President Mustafa Yılmaz.
He said:
“We said what could be done at the start of the business in case of such a challenge. If there will be a problem in the invoice problem, we have allowed invoices to be reduced in time using the “invoice by comparison” method on the average of 2018 and 2019 invoices. “
On the other hand, there are clear regulations in the legislation that provide for how many days of natural gas bills can be issued.
Delayed invoices from İGDAŞ, which are up to 70, 75 days, have already exceeded the duration of their obligation in the written text.
“THE COUNTER IS A SCALE”
When we look at the subject from a distance, a question comes to mind:
“Isn’t it important not to bill citizens more than they consume? In this sense, if invoices are delayed by a month and a half, is this very important?
EMRA President Yılmaz answers this question as “Yes, it is important.”
Then use a statement that seems to be an established rule in the industry:
“It is a counterscale.”
This is the first time it has happened since the days that Istanbul met with natural gas.
When you think that “the accountant is scales” you are in the context of the relationship of trust of people with bills / institutions, and finally with the state, you sit in your place.
Delayed and uncut bills can alter people’s payment plans and, more importantly, can damage their sense of confidence. I asked myself as someone who paid 8 bills a month, who linked these payments to automatic payments, and came to the conclusion. Yes, knowing at what intervals invoices are issued and making sure this schedule doesn’t get out of the way is important to continuing the feeling of “trust” in invoices.
Let me give a final note to answer the question why this is happening:
After the Istanbul Municipality began an administration with CHP, İGDAŞ trained personnel were removed from their posts.
The memory of the institution is in a distributed sense.
It is said that “İGDAŞ was a school”. “All those who carry out natural gas distribution work in some 60 provinces had taken their positions there with the İGDAŞ experience.”
The institution is said to have lost the quality of being that school.
If political reasons are to be sought, they must be sought here.
