Local Government Will Ensure Workers' Salaries by Selling the Hospital

In the Atakum district of Samsun, an important decision was made during the municipal council's November session. The council unanimously approved articles proposing the sale of some municipal properties for the purpose of paying SGK and tax debts. These articles also cover critical points such as the transfer of the Education and Research Hospital's Additional Service Building at public cost.

AK Party council members raised an attention-grabbing issue during the session. The relevant members indicated that the salaries of some workers had not been paid for two to three months, emphasizing that this situation needed urgent resolution. The salaries of public employees, who provide employment for a significant portion of the population, are crucial for the vibrancy of the local economy. Therefore, it was stated that necessary steps should be taken to ensure salary payments were made.

The sale of municipal properties by the municipality will not only help in paying debts but will also contribute to securing workers' salaries. This process is considered an important step in line with local governments' goal of maintaining financial discipline, as it will be carried out without any cuts from the general budget.

Such actions by local governments are essential for financial sustainability. The steps taken to gain the trust of the public and ensure that public services continue without interruption are undoubtedly of great importance to every citizen. The steps to be taken in the coming periods to reduce debts and ensure regular payment of employees' salaries are eagerly awaited.
