The Anti-Corruption Commission has authorised the housing ministry to resume the halted Hiyaa social housing scheme and the sale of plots from the capital’s suburb Hulhumalé.
At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizz announced that application forms for the 400 plots will now be available until the end of Sunday.
He called the land reclaimed for Hulhumalé phase two “a shining example” of President Abdulla Yameen’s housing policy.
“It is his legacy. Every grain of sand in that place will always show his legacy,” he said, scolding journalists for “irresponsible” reporting of the anti-corruption probes.
