The Ministry of Housing and Water has advised the public that the CH&PA is the only agency authorised to allocate and receive payments for house lots and urged the public to be wary of a fraudster by the name of `Satesh’ who has collected large sums.
At a press briefing on Thursday at his Brickdam office, Minister Irfaan Ali said the ministry and the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) will prosecute persons who perpetrate fraud and those found to be colluding with these tricksters.
