Hasrul Azwar, Religious Affairs Commission Member In The House Of Representatives:
I Wouldn't Be Elected Seven Times If I Were Corrupt!

Hasrul Azwar's name repeatedly appears in the charges lodged against Suryadharma Ali, a former minister of religious affairs. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has also named the United Development Party (PPP) politician a graft co-conspirator, together with Suryadharma. Both are said to have hatched a plot to speed up deliberations on the 2011 haj costs (BPIH). In return, the House of Representatives' (DPR) Commission VIII, which oversees matters related to the pilgrimage, would receive a kickback from the pilgrims' accommodation project. Hasrul talked about accusations of his involvement in the case with Tempo's Sunudyantoro, Jobpie Sugiharto, and Wayan Agus Purnomo at his House office in Senayan, Jakarta, last Friday.
