The city council demanded that in the middle of this month, a statement for mobile phones and payment services would be submitted in the middle of this month, saying, "I can't deny the possibility of using a mobile phone payment service to combine the price of private shopping." However, it was not submitted by the deadline, and the city council advised to revise the income and expenditure report as "lack of appropriateness of the execution of political expenses."
