Turkish MP questions Revenue Administration appointments

Turkish Member of Parliament Ali Öztunç has submitted a written parliamentary inquiry to Treasury and Finance Minister Mehmet Şimşek regarding management appointments within the Revenue Administration.

Öztunç raised 12 critical questions focusing on meritocracy, career progression, and internal hierarchy. Specifically, the inquiry addresses allegations regarding the appointment of Hamza Yıldız to a Group President position. Öztunç questioned the criteria used for this appointment, noting claims that Yıldız previously served as a driver and attendant for the current Revenue Administration President, Bekir Bayrakdar, during his tenure as Istanbul Tax Office President. The MP is seeking clarification on whether any professional exams or merit-based criteria were applied to these administrative roles.
