Associated with the recruitment of Hajj officers, Ahmad Jajuli proposed to form an adhoc committee to facilitate the service and improve the service quality because so far there are often a lot of complaints that arise about the Hajj service. “Make an adhoc committee for three years, hopefully the officers on duty are experienced,” said the senator from Lampung.

In response, Slamet explained that the composition of the hajj officers has been determined, which is composed of 60% experienced and 40% inexperienced. The purpose of this composition is to maintain the quality of care for those already experienced tend to ignore their duties. “Actually, it depends on the personal mental, but those who have been experienced neglect their duty because they prefer religious duty. They are on duty, they should give priority to the duty,” said Slamet. (af)
