JAKARTA: Minister of Religious Affairs Said Agil Husin made a startling revelation on Tuesday: his ministry is riddled with corruption.

Said Agil was relaying the 2001 findings of the ministry's internal audit agency to the House of Representatives.

"None of the findings have been reported to the police or the Attorney General's office for legal actions," he told members of House commission VI on religious affairs.

The minister stopped short of mentioning how much financial loss the state has suffered because of the corrupt practices at the ministry.

The ministry has opened PO Box 5000 for the public to file complaints on any corrupt practices and bad service involving its employees. -- Antara
