In light of housing backlogs exceeding millions of houses, what concrete measures have been implemented to prevent corruption and political gatekeeping in the allocation of Reconstruction and Development Programme houses?

The document is a question and answer from Parliament (PMD) where the Minister of Human Settlements explains measures to prevent corruption and gatekeeping in the allocation of Reconstruction and Development Programme houses. It states that the NHNR records housing needs, allocations follow verified data and HSS records allocations, and an Allocations Policy is being drafted to strengthen qualification criteria and promote digitisation, openness, and political insulation of the allocation process. The policy aims to prevent corruption by excluding public representatives from intergovernmental allocation committees and emphasizes data-driven prioritisation under the Housing Code and constitutional provisions.
