JAKARTA - The House of Representatives' Hajj Supervisory Team (Timwas) revealed the many findings and records related to the implementation of the 2024 Hajj. Chairman of the House of Representatives Hajj Supervisory Team Muhaimin Iskandar (Cak Imin) said his party would discuss the matter in a special committee (special committee).

"There are so many notes by the team and they have been met. We will discuss all notes and findings specifically through the special committee (special committee)," said Cak Imin in Mecca as stated by reporters, Friday, June 14.

The deputy chairman of the DPR emphasized that the special committee would explore the findings more. His party, he said, would conduct a search related to management errors so that there would be improvements in the future.

"Pansus will investigate all management phenomena that have errors and shortcomings for the improvement of the upcoming Hajj," he said.

One of the problems that Timwas highlighted was about consumption. Cak Imin revealed that foodstuffs for Indonesian pilgrims came from Thailand. Supposedly, he said, the needs of the congregation should not be imported.

"One of them is a rather basic ingredient in consumption of all imports of Thailand, even though the number of our congregation is more than 241,000. That should be an opportunity for national actors to supply food needs, not import Thailand," he said.

Therefore, the General Chairperson of the PKB assessed that there needed to be strong negotiations between the Indonesian government and Saudi Arabia to deal with the problem.

Cak Imin said that the desire to bring the issue of organizing the Hajj to the DPR Special Committee had been agreed with other members of the Hajjwas Team.

"Yes, it was decided yesterday, Timwas together with the commission leadership and also a coordination meeting with the Ministry of Religion. We will detail all Hajj implementations so that errors are lacking, especially transportation problems, do not happen again," he concluded.

There are five important notes related to organizing Hajj in Arafah, Muzdalifah, Mina (Armuzna). Namely first, the congregation's tents are overcapacity or overcapacity. At least, there is an excess of 30 worshipers in the tent for wukuf.

Second, toilets that are not elderly friendly. The three availability of congregational consumption must be ensured to be distributed properly. Fourth, facilities for the elderly. Fifth, the transporation of pilgrims in Armuzna.
