Jakarta – The KPK revealed the latest news related to the alleged corruption of the 2024 Hajj quota after the former Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas was investigated. The KPK said there was something strange about the additional quota of 20 thousand pilgrims. Initially, the Deputy for the maintenance and execution of the KPK Asep Guntur said there were rules in the law regarding the distribution of the pilgrimage quota, which was 92 percent for regular HAJJ and 8 percent for special HAJJ. He said if the Hajj quota was 20 thousand, then 18,400 for ordinary Hajj and 1,600 for special Hajj. He also explained about the additional pilgrimage quota of 20 thousand. According to him, the additional quota must be intended for regular Hajj at the time.
