Graft at religious affairs ministry

From Warta Kota

It is good news that the Graft Eradication Commission has resolved to eradicate graft at the religious affairs ministry, which, according to the Finance and Development Supervisory Board (BPKP), is the most corrupt ministry in the country.

In this context, the commission should begin its investigation with haj affairs.

Reportedly, a middle-ranking official at the ministry can become very wealthy and afford to drive a BMW to the office.

The recent cancellation of haj pilgrimages for 30,000 would-be pilgrims must have been God's way of showing the country how greedy the officials at this ministry are. These 30,000 would-be haj pilgrims have been cheated by the religious affairs minister.

The commission must also look into reports that an official close to the religious affairs minister asked for Rp 400 million from those businesses seeking the contract to provide catering for the haj pilgrims.
