A concerned customer of the Housing Authority of Fiji says he is concerned about the triple and double-storey houses that are built in Tacirua East Sub-Division as these lots were meant for low and middle-income earners.

Ifereimi Waqasese highlighted this during the public consultation at Nadi Civic Centre, where a three-member Public Inquiry Committee has starting looking into the possible irregularities and fraudulent transactions concerning the allocation of lots by the Housing Authority of Fiji in the past 10 years.

He says it defeats the purpose if the lots are for low-income earners and it is given to those that are high income earners.

The Chairperson of the Committee Seema Shandil says they will look into all the concerns raised.

Shandil says they will conduct a holistic review of the approval processes on the lots, and any issues experienced in services provided by Housing Authority.

She says with this committee, transparency and accountability will be their hallmark.
