Housing scheme board members allot plots to themselves in Islamabad
ISLAMABAD: While making public the allotment of plots to judges, bureaucrats and journalists, the executive board of the Federal Government Employees Housing Authority (FGHEA) had silently decided to secure pricey plots for themselves in posh housing sectors of Islamabad’s F-14 and 15 sectors against the recommendations of the parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
Minutes of the executive board meeting available with Dawn suggests that all members unanimously decided in their own favour to have one Kanal plot each, but did not include their names in the list placed on the FGEHA website that had 4,723 allottees, among them the chief justice and other judges of the Supreme Court.
According to the summary of the meeting’s minutes related to the allotments of 4,723 plots to over 50 judges of the superior judiciary, bureaucrats, lower judiciary’s judges and journalists on Aug 17, the executive board members in a subsequent meeting “unanimously decided that the executive board members be considered against 1pc quota of current schemes, reserved for the employees of the Ministry of Housing and Works, subject to availability in the corresponding quota and upon submission of a formal application for a particular scheme and membership drive”.
