“Is the Minister of Religious Affairs here? What about the Hajj Agency? If possible, let’s bring the Hajj travel costs down again,” he said.
The directive to lower airfare prices and Hajj travel costs stems from Prabowo’s desire to be a president who reduces prices rather than increases them.
“I want to be a president who brings prices down. The only prices that should go up are the prices of harvested rice for farmers. That must increase,” President Prabowo explained.
For context, today the Gerindra Party is celebrating its 17th anniversary. The celebration is being held at the Sentul International Convention Center, Bogor, West Java.
