JAKARTA - The Anti-Corruption Society Alliance (Almasi) has urged the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) to examine the Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and his deputy, Saiful Rahmat Badmintonku. There are allegations of a corruption practice related to the 2024 hajj quota.

This pressure was conveyed by the Executive Coordinator of Almasi Andi Isa in an action at the KPK's Red and White Building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta today, Tuesday, July 30. According to him, the two names were not professional in carrying out their duties because of the chaotic hajj quota.

"The KPK will immediately examine and arrest the Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas and Deputy Minister of Religion Saiful Rahmat Mikhku considering that the Hajj Question Committee is also currently rolling in the DPR RI," Andi said in his oration.

"The chaotic implementation of the 2024 Hajj pilgrimage, especially the alleged corruption of the Hajj quota, makes us concerned," he continued.

It didn't stop there, Andi also mentioned spending on official cars at the Ministry of Religion in 2023-2024. He said the anti-corruption commission had to investigate thoroughly because it was suspected that there was a waste.

"People's money from people's sweat is not for the luxury of officials," said Andi.

Meanwhile, the KPK once stated that it was ready to take care of the chaos in the implementation of the pilgrimage. This was conveyed by KPK spokesman Tessa Mahardika when appreciating the establishment of the Special Committee (Pansus) for Hajj Supervision in the DPR.

"KPK welcomes the special committee that was made positively. Of course, if later there is a request from the DPR for assistance from the KPK," said Tessa to reporters, Friday, July 12.

"We will see in the capacity of whether the KPK can assist these activities," he continued.
