JAKARTA - Commission VIII of the DPR will question the problems that arise in organizing the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage to the Ministry of Religion.

The reason is, the DPR's Hajjwas Team found many problems, such as deportation of the congregation to the congregation's beds, such as refugee barracks.

"The implementation of the Hajj in 2024 does hold several crucial issues that actually appear every year. First, of course, from the visa process, we know that our pilgrims use non-hajj visas, and that is the reason for deportation, including legal cases. Because once again the Hajj visa is the main prerequisite for people to perform Hajj," said a member of Commission VIII DPR Maman Imanul Haq, Thursday, June 20.

Second, pilgrims who have not met the istitho'ah standards or abilities in health. However, the congregation in question has entered the hajj dormitory.

"I found that when in Sukolilo in Solo there were several congregants who could not leave because of the problem," he said.

Third, an additional 20,000 quota raises the question. Where should the quota be used for regular Hajj instead be used for ONH plus Hajj.

"Where exactly are the quotas? This must be questioned, there should be no people who sell and buy quotas and it shifts the e-haj system. So that there are people who should leave, lose to people who can or can afford to pay more. This is used as an excuse to carry out a thorough investigation," said Maman.

The fourth is about flights. Maman said, hajj flights from Indonesia only use two airlines, namely Garuda Indonesia and Saudi Arabia Airlines.

"This is important for us over 60 percent of the delays made by Garuda. Even in one embarkation there are about how many, 17 hours of delay. This is an important note for us," he explained.

Fifth, the problem of hotels and catering for pilgrims who are considered to still not meet the standards. Moreover, there are findings of worshipers sleeping in groups like refugee barracks without barriers from female and male congregations.

"When we are in the holy land, we know about hotel problems, catering problems and so on, it still doesn't meet the right standards for what we want through the pilgrimage. This is what provides optimal and maximum service to pilgrims, including of course officers who really have to master how SOPs serve pilgrims. Don't let anyone go for Hajj is funded by the state but they don't provide optimal service," said Maman.

"We also found that as in previous years, in Armuna, the capacity of the tents that were overloaded included if we look at the bathrooms from 20 lined up, for example 40 percent, cannot be operated, which cannot be maintained and taken care of, for example," he added.

These issues, said Maman, will be questioned by the Ministry of Religion as the person in charge of organizing the hajj.

"Of course we will continue to get these notes, we will ask the Ministry of Religion as the organizer of the Hajj according to the mandate of the Hajj Law Number 18. That is an important note in addition to several notes that we have collected through the DPR RI Hajj supervision team," he concluded.
