Not Only Lowering Costs, Anies Also Promises To Abbreviate The Queue Period Of Hajj Pilgrims
Presidential candidate number 1 Anies Baswedan has again made a promise about the cost of Hajj. If elected as president, Anies will shorten the queue for Hajj pilgrims in Indonesia.
This was conveyed by Anies after the campaign for a limited meeting with the people of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) at GOR on December 17.
"We already have a program. Later we will launch it in time that we want pilgrims or prospective pilgrims to not have to wait too long," said Anies, Tuesday, December 19.
However, Anies did not want to explain the concrete mechanism that he would run so that the waiting time for the pilgrimage was shortened.
"Later (explained) after the complete (program concept)," said Anies.
The former governor of DKI Jakarta said that the plan to shorten the queue period for Hajj pilgrims was based on public complaints received. Thus, Anies admitted that he would find a way out.
"There are complaints about the long waiting period for the Hajj, some say that 13 years have mentioned 30 years. The time is very long. This is one of the complaints that we will fight for," said Anies.

Previously, Anies also made an appointment to reduce the cost of Hajj when he and vice presidential candidate Muhaimin Fishdar won the 2024 presidential election.
Meanwhile, currently the government and the DPR have agreed to increase the costs that must be paid by the community to fulfill the hajj in 2024.
"Currently we are in talks about it. One is about how to reduce the cost of Hajj," he said while attending Anies' Desak event in Banjarmasin City, Tuesday, December 5.
Currently, Anies claims to be formulating a formula for reducing the cost of Hajj with his winning team. This way of reducing the cost of Hajj will be applied when Anies wins the 2024 presidential election.
"We are in talks and we hope that this can be completed quickly so that we can reduce the cost of Hajj as other countries do. So that our Hajj costs become equivalent to other countries. We will do that," Anies promised.
