A compliance audit by the Auditor General's Office found procurement and payment irregularities across 634 projects by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development from 2019 to 2023, with total expenditure of MVR 23.06 billion. The report found MVR 136.5 million of advances paid for 25 cancelled projects remained unrecovered as of July 2026.
One outlet so far Only One Online has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
The current Government subsequently handed the project to the Housing Development Corporation (HDC) on 26 August.
