SEMARANG - Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo said the management of funds collected at the Central Java National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas) was in accordance with Islamic religious rules and carried out transparently, and could be audited.

"Moreover, the source of the funds that came in came from zakat infaqak and sodaqoh (deed). Not only did they distribute or collect, the muzaki mustahik was recorded, but the governance was also recorded," said Ganjar in Semarang, Antara, Thursday, July 7.

Hal tersebut disampaikan dia menanggapi kasus transparansi pengelolaan dana dari lembaga philanthropi Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT).

According to the number one person in Central Java, the source of Baznas and ACT funds is different, namely Baznas manages funds originating from zakat, infaq, and alms, while ACT comes from the community.

"ACT is not a zakat model, it is a social institution, so it is under the Ministry of Social Affairs. If this is Baznas, right or not. This is a law, the Ministry of Religion regulates, local governments regulate and so on. And this is a clear element, the fiqh is there, the conditions also exist, so if we carry out the rules, they are really religious," he said.

Ganjar explained that the management of Baznas was transparent and audited, and this was also constantly reminded of every opportunity to carry out activities with the Central Java Baznas.

"If Baznas actually can do an audit and from the start we remind him so that there is a governance issue. I think the next inspiration should be audited," he said.

Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo often cooperates with Central Java Baznas to implement a number of Central Java Provincial Government programs. Most often, Ganjar and Baznas provide assistance for the Uninhabitable House Program (RTLH) and many more.
