Deputy Minister of Hajj and Umrah Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak has\naffirmed his institution\u2019s commitment to cleansing hajj governance from\ndeviant practices that harm the public.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must no longer be any room for old practices that disadvantage\npilgrims. The Ministry of Hajj must become a new home with a new work\nculture \u2014 clean, professional, transparent and service-oriented,\u201d Dahnil\nsaid during an unannounced inspection of the East Jakarta Ministry of\nHajj office on Monday.<\/p>\n
East Jakarta is one of the areas with the largest number of\nprospective hajj pilgrims in DKI Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Based on findings by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and public\ncomplaints over recent years, there have been a number of reports\nconcerning alleged irregularities in hajj services in the area,\nincluding issues of mahram manipulation and other deviant practices.<\/p>\n
The deputy minister said these conditions were among the reasons he\nwent directly to inspect services and issue a warning to all staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cI deliberately came in person to ensure that services to pilgrims\nare truly running as they should,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, the transfer of hajj management to the Ministry of\nHajj and Umrah must become a momentum to break the chain of deviant\npractices while building service governance with integrity from the\ncentre to the regions.<\/p>\n
The deputy minister stressed that, in line with the directive of\nPresident Prabowo Subianto, instructions had been given from the outset\nthat the transformation of hajj administration should not stop at\ninstitutional change but be followed by fundamental changes in work\nculture and the integrity of the apparatus.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe message is clear. Those who are ready to change, let us together\nbuild the Ministry of Hajj and provide the best service to pilgrims. But\nfor anyone who still maintains the old culture and plays with pilgrims\u2019\nrights, please leave,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dahnil emphasised that there is no tolerance for brokerage practices,\nadministrative manipulation, illegal levies, or abuse of authority in\nhajj services. Every public report and audit finding will be followed up\nin accordance with applicable regulations.<\/p>\n
He also asked all Ministry of Hajj staff to make the interests of\npilgrims the primary orientation of service. According to him, the hajj\ntransformation ordered by President Prabowo must be felt by the public\nthrough services that are increasingly easy, transparent, fair and free\nfrom transactional practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cPilgrims come to the Ministry of Hajj office to obtain service and\ncertainty, not to become objects of transaction. Therefore, no party may\ntake advantage by playing with pilgrims\u2019 rights. This is what we will\ncontinue to clean up,\u201d the deputy minister said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/deputy-minister-vows-clean-hajj-governance-free-from-irregularities-1786370130", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
