JAKARTA - Vice President Ma'ruf Amin will conduct an in-depth investigation into issues that mention the transfer of half of the additional quota for Hajj, from regular Hajj to special Hajj (ONH Plus).

"When it comes to the transfer, the Minister of Religion denies that there is none. Later we will do an in-depth investigation whether there really exists," the Vice President told reporters on the sidelines of a working visit to inaugurate the Asy Syadzili Social Education Foundation building in Malang, East Java, as reported by ANTARA, Friday, June 28.

The vice president said that if there was a diversion, he would ask the reason and basis for the transfer.

"We need to deepen later. If there is, what is the reason, what is the basis of the mind, so we will explore it," said the Vice President.

Previously, the DPR's Hajj Supervisory Team highlighted the transfer or allocation of as many as 10 thousand additional quotas of Hajj to ONH Plus, out of 20 thousand additional quotas provided by the Saudi Arabia government.

According to DPR Timwas member Luluk Nur Hamidah, this change should involve dialogue and considerations from the DPR so that the decisions taken are more comprehensive.

Meanwhile, Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas emphasized that there was no abuse in the use of additional quota allocations in the operation of the Hajj 1445 Hijri/2024 AD.

"There is no misuse of additional quota. That's the principle," Yaqut said in Medina, Saturday (22/6).

This year's Indonesian Hajj quota is 221,000 people. This number consists of 203,320 regular hajjes and 17,680 special hajjes.

Indonesia also received 20,000 additional quotas which were then divided by 10,000 each for regular Hajj and 10,000 for special Hajj.

"We do not abuse and God willing, we will carry out this mandate as well as possible," said the Minister of Religion.
