The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has sent a list of 824 people to the Ministry of Housing, Land and Urban Development, noting that they are eligible for flats under the Gedhoruveriyaa Scheme according to the Housing Minister.

Replying to questions raised by members of the National Development and Heritage Committee of the Parliament on flat-related issues, the minister said that the list by ACC only contains form numbers, hence it was not possible to state who the beneficiaries were exactly.

Therefore, the list of people who are eligible for flats will be known only after access to the portal set up by the ministry, he said.

He further noted that only the ACC can access the portal as the investigation into the flat case is not completed. He also added that access will be given after ACC made a backup of it.

The flats will be handed over after the Ministry receives access to the portal and the list given by the ACC is checked by the Ministry, he said. An independent committee has been formed for that purpose.

The minister said the ACC had said that access to the portal would be available within a few days. Therefore, the handover of the flats is expected to start next week, he said.

Therefore, the flats will be handed over to all the beneficiaries within the next two weeks, he said.
