        "content": "<p>The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has disclosed that former\nMinister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas (YCQ) suffers from\ngastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and acute asthma. KPK\u2019s Deputy\nfor Enforcement and Execution, Asep Guntur Rahayupada, stated that a\nhealth assessment was conducted on Yaqut prior to changing his status to\nhouse arrest last week. The assessment revealed that Yaqut has acute\nGERD, for which he has undergone endoscopy and colonoscopy procedures.\n\u201cWe inform you that one of the results from the health assessment is\nthat the individual suffers from acute GERD, and has undergone endoscopy\nand colonoscopy. I\u2019m not entirely familiar with the medical terms, so\ncolleagues can check later. He also suffers from asthma,\u201d Asep said at\nthe KPK building on Tuesday (24\/3). Due to this condition, KPK granted\nYaqut\u2019s request for house arrest in the alleged corruption case\nconcerning Hajj quotas last Thursday. On Tuesday (24\/3), KPK has\ntransferred Yaqut back to state detention at the facility in the KPK\nbuilding in Kuningan, South Jakarta. \u201cWe have transferred the detention\nof Mr YCQ back to the state detention house at K4 in this KPK building,\u201d\nhe said. He explained that the return to routine detention is to ensure\nthe case handling runs smoothly and swiftly. \u201cWe extend our utmost\nthanks to all of society who have supported our processes and activities\nin handling this criminal corruption act,\u201d Asep stated. Yaqut arrived\naround 10:40 WIB this morning. He did not say much upon arriving at KPK.\nHe only mentioned that he was able to pay respects to his mother during\nEid while under house arrest. \u201cAlhamdulillah, I was able to pay respects\nto my mother, to my mum,\u201d Yaqut said briefly. Previously, KPK stated\nthat the transfer to house arrest for Yaqut was not due to health\nreasons. \u201cNot because of illness,\u201d said KPK Spokesperson Budi Prasetyo,\nas quoted from detik.com, last Sunday (21\/3). Budi explained that the\nhouse arrest for Yaqut was carried out after KPK received a request from\nhis family. The request was then reviewed and granted based on\nconsiderations in accordance with Article 108 paragraphs (1) and (11) of\nLaw Number 20 of 2025 on the Criminal Procedure Code.<\/p>",
