No Reason Why Handover of Flats Cannot Be Completed Within Three Months: Ex-President Solih

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih stated that there is no valid reason for the three-month delay in the handover of Gedhoruveriya Housing Scheme units, and warned that if candidates aligned with the current Mohamed Muizzu administration win a majority in the upcoming parliamentary elections, the housing units allocated by the Muizzu administration will be taken away from current beneficiaries and distributed to others. Speaking at a campaign event on Friday for the incumbent MP for West Maafannu, Mohamed Falah, Solih said that the people of Maafannu and Malé have been given various excuses by the current administration, so that the land allocated to President Solih is withheld until the parliamentary elections. Solih accused Muizzu of acting contrary to his campaign promise that no Malé resident would need to give up their land to get a plot in Gulhifalhu, Giraavaru, or Hulhumalé. Solih noted that the Housing Ministry has sent a letter to the city council warning that if beneficiaries change the status of the land they chose to forfeit as a precondition to qualifying for the Solih administration’s housing scheme, their Binveriya allocations will be rescinded. Solih said that the MDP should be given a majority to put the current administration on the right track and prevent the seizure of land and flats. He added that the government has been unable to change the lists because the MDP has a majority in parliament. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has been investigating alleged irregularities in the allocation of land and flats under the Binveriya and Gedhoruveriya schemes.
