Corruption Eradication Commission examined the report related to the management of funds coming Hajj. KPK spokesman Johan Budi said, the Commission has received complaints from the public report.




"It has entered into the KPK and become an integral part of organizing pilgrimage studies. At Dumas (complaints) are also no study of management reports pilgrimage," said Johan in Jakarta, Monday (07/01/2013).

Regarding the complaint about the content of the report which examined the pilgrimage fund management KPK, Johan did not explain further. He said the results of a review of the report will determine whether the Commission will initiate an investigation or even direct an investigation or not.

According to Johan, a report on the management of the funds received by the Commission pilgrimage is different from the administration studies performed Hajj Directorate of Prevention Commission. In addition to examining the report, the Commission was reviewing the organization of the pilgrimage. This year, the anti-corruption agency was sending a team to directly monitor the implementation of the Mecca for Hajj. "The results of the study has not been completed," he added.

Still related to the pilgrimage, according to Johan, the Commission has received the audit report Centre for Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (INTRAC) regarding irregularities haj fund management. INTRAC report, he said, became an integral part to the study of the implementation of the KPK pilgrimage.

PPATK found irregularities

As reported previously, INTRAC have audited the financial management Hajj period 2004-2012. Of the audit, INTRAC find suspicious transactions amounting to Rp 230 billion, which is not apparent use. During the period, the fund managed pilgrims reached Rp 80 trillion in exchange for a yield of about Rp 2.3 trillion per year. However, as the fund was allegedly not managed transparently so that potentially corrupted. For example, the selection of banks to fund the placement was not performed Hajj with clear parameters.

"For example, do not explain why funds are always placed in bank X, not banks Y. No explanation, for example, if bank X gives higher yields than bank Y," said Head of INTRAC M Yusuf, some time ago.

Ketidaktransparanan Another example is the mechanism of foreign exchange (forex) in organizing Hajj. Currency exchange is always done in currency-that alone, while not explained what the parameters in choosing the currency exchange.

Related to this pilgrimage fund management, the Commission previously had asked the government to suspend registration of pilgrims. Commission indicated there were indications of corruption in the organization of pilgrimage, especially related to the initial deposit fund management assembly candidates submitted to the government. According to the Commission, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MORA) is the most recalcitrant ministries act on revamping the system that could potentially corrupt institution.

KPK ever give recommendations to Kemenag about 48 principal that must be addressed in order to avoid corruption. Of the 48 principal recommendations were followed up just four points. MORA also consider competence on revamping the system. Commission also considers the assembly registration continuously will cause the amount of the initial deposit continues to grow. In fact, the quota of pilgrims relatively the same from year to year. This will potentially create opportunities for corruption. There is the potential for playing a number line to get rewarded.


Center for Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (INTRAC) indicates a deviation in the pilgrimage under the authority of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

"We kissed hard no irregularities in the Hajj journey. Currently we are auditing costs due to see a non-transparent spending there," said Chairman PPATK Mohammed Yusuf in 2012 Year-End Reflection INTRAC in Jakarta, Wednesday (01/02/2012) .

Joseph saw throughout 2004-2012 there was funding the costs of conducting the Hajj (BPIH) amounting to Rp 80 trillion to Rp 2.3 trillion interest.

"So it should not have to suffer affliction pilgrims as they walked from Mecca to Medina when there is that much money," said Yusuf.

Another indication is a fund of Rp 80 trillion was placed in a bank without placing a clear standardization.

"Why are the funds placed in bank X Y bank, but if there is only 1 percent difference in interest then the amount will be much at all. So, there should be standardization of placement of the money," said Yusuf.

Other matters related to the purchase of foreign exchange for the catering and accommodation assessed by INTRAC unclear.

"We have submitted the results of its audit to the Commission so that not only analysis, but it must have been deepening, for example related to office operations that should be entered in the budget headings but incorporated into BPIH. Then the person who was told to buy large amounts of foreign currency, if the place of purchase valasnya were surveyed first, "added Joseph.

According to Joseph, when interest rates reached Rp 2.3 trillion, that's all the money that needs to be explored pilgrims.

In addition, the implementation also be money that should be used for the organization of the pilgrimage, but used to renovate offices and purchase vehicles.

"Why did not the money from the ministry? Things like this need to be explored," added Joseph.

Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Commission Busyro Muqoddas said that the KPK has sent four officers to Mecca and Medina to perform the Hajj direct inspection.

"Checking to see catering and accommodation problems because there is Rp 45 trillion funds pilgrim. Fact, the rate of Rp 2 trillion more so the number that was spectacular. So really no symptoms are more visible," said Busyro.
