ACC permits housing ministry to issue Hulhumale land plots again: minister

Housing Minister Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on Tuesday declared that the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) has permitted the ministry to proceed with the issuing of land plots from Hulhumale Phase Two.

The graft watchdog had ordered to halt issuing land on Sunday, soon after the housing ministry announced that 400 land plots of 1,000 square feet are to be sold to citizens of capital Male City, at a rate of MVR 400,000, from reclaimed suburb Hulhumale's second phase of development. ACC had stated that it was looking into complaints submitted regarding the issue, and to temporarily cease issuing of land until the investigation was completed.
