The Prosecutor General has started a criminal investigation into possible issues with the government's "Binveriya" and "Gedhoruveriya" schemes, which involve the distribution of land and flats.

The investigation focuses on whether the process followed proper rules and regulations. Under Article 223(f) of the Constitution, the Prosecutor General has ordered a full review of how applications were handled, who received the land and flats, and how the allocation was carried out.

The Prosecutor General has also asked for weekly updates on the investigation to ensure it moves quickly and efficiently.
