ACC Orders MNPHI to Suspend Flat Allocations

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) ordered the Ministry of National Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (MNPHI) to suspend allocations of flats under the housing scheme Gedhoruveriya. The order came after the release of a list of 4,000 flats under construction in Hulhumalé. ACC mandated halting all allocation activities, including signing lease agreements, pending an investigation. The investigation found that applicants may have been awarded points illegally and that verification was insufficient. The Housing Ministry had begun live draws broadcast on Yes TV. Over 7,000 complaints were filed within five days. There are 13,000 eligible people on the permanent list, with 4,000 flats initially identified. Points thresholds: above 76 for three-room flats, above 73 for two-room flats.
