It owes .160.000.000 XNUMX
According to hurriyet.com.tr, in the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC), the Turkish Cypriot Electricity Authority (KIBTEK)" cut off the electricity of the "ministry" of economy because it did not repay a significant amount of debt.
The Turkish Cypriot company reported that the "ministry" owed about 160 million Turkish pounds to KIBTEK and for this reason the electricity has been cut off for 2 days.
In a statement, "Minister" of Economy Dursun Oguz said that the electricity in the "ministry" was illegally cut off by the Electricity Association (EL-SEN), which manages KIBTEK.
"Populist movement"
Oguz said no tariffs were sent by the electricity company, which reports to the "ministry" of the economy and energy, and that the power outage was a completely populist move.
He also pointed out that although the "ministry" of the economy fulfilled its obligations, KIBTEK announced the debt with a payment plan prepared unilaterally and not notified to the "ministry".
