Parliamentary Committee Schedules 27 February Public Forum on Gedhoruveriya Flat List

The Parliament Petitions Committee decided to hold a public forum on 27 February to discuss a petition to uphold the gazetted list for the Gedhoruveriya social housing scheme. The motion, proposed by MP Mohamed Waheed (The Democrats) and seconded by MP Mohamed Shahid (MDP), was unanimously passed. The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) had earlier found that only 20.70% of applicants fully met requirements, 19.70% were incomplete, and 70% had discrepancies. The Solih administration originally contracted for 4,000 flats but later released a list of 15,046 eligible applicants. The ACC authorized the Muizzu administration to resume work on issuing the housing units after gaining access to the scheme's portal on 1 February.
