Independent Committee To Oversee Handover of ‘Gedhoruveriya’ Flats: Housing Minister

Minister of Housing, Land and Urban Development Dr Ali Haidar Ahmed confirmed that an independent committee will oversee the handover of flats under the 'Gedhoruveriya' social housing scheme. The scheme has been under scrutiny since the Anti-Corruption Commission launched an investigation in November 2023 that found around 60 percent of recipients did not meet eligibility criteria and discrepancies in 19.7 percent of application forms, leading to a suspension of the handover.
