Duggan corruption acquisition of laptops in the Ministry of Education and Culture was reported earlier. In 2019-2022, the Ago began to investigate the alleged corruption case of laptop acquisition for digitalization of education in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikbuddristk). The project used a fairly large state budget, worth RP 9.9 trillion. Harli said that there was 2020 Kemendikbudristek to draft a plan for the acquisition of information for information and communication technology (ICT) for subordinations, from elementary to upper level. Although the plan was not a necessity for students at the time. Because it appears that the same was done in 2018-2019, but the results were not effective. “Because, if I’m not wrong, in 2019, a hearing on the application of the Chromebook was tested to 1,000 units, it was not effective,” Harli told reporters at the office of the Attorney General, South Jakarta, on Monday (5/26/2025). It is then thought that there is an evil conspiracy or evil of different parties. Because the replacement of the specifications is allegedly not based on the actual needs. “So it is thought that there was a conspiracy. Because a hearing was conducted in previous years because the actual use of Chromebook was not quite right,” Harli explained. Instead, the Ministry of Education and Culture has compiled a new technical team. The team is aimed at doing technical studies related to the use of laptops with the Chromebook operating system in the process of acquiring goods/services, and not based on the availability of ICT equipment to be used in teaching and learning activities. “What then? To be aimed at using laptops based on the Chromebook operating system,” he explained. (Ond/IDN) HOEGENG Awards 2025 Read the inspiring story of the exemplary police candidate here
