ACC questions those linked to Gedhoruveriyaa project as part of investigation

The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has disclosed that the commission has been summoning and questioning individuals linked to the allocation of 4,000 flats under the previous government's Gedhoruveriyaa Scheme.

When PResident Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's government released the list of flat recipients under the Gedhoruveriyaa Scheme, it stirred significant controversy, with allegations of points being awarded in violation of grading policies. In response, the ACC intervened by suspending the handover of the flats pending a thorough investigation.

The ACC said in a brief statement Sunday that the Housing Ministry has given the commission access to the Gedhoruveriyaa Portal for the purpose of investigating the case. The commission said that the Housing Ministry has granted ACC access to the Gedhoruveriyaa Portal, enabling an expanded investigation. The ACC is actively collecting information and questioning those involved in the awarding process, the statement read.

Emphasizing the case's significance to the public, ACC said the commission hopes to complete the investigation as soon as possible. They assured that they were leveraging all available technical and human resources to their maximum capacity to ensure the timely conclusion of the investigation.
