        "summary": "In the ongoing corruption trial involving the procurement of Chromebook laptops by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, BPKP auditor Dedy Nurmawan Susilo testified that the fair market price for each unit is Rp 3.67 million, calculated using a recalculation method that averages costs across brands and includes reasonable margins for principals, distributors, and resellers. This assessment, based on data from 12 principals and five distributors, aims to determine state losses in the case where former Education Minister Nadiem Makarim and three other officials are accused of causing Rp 2.1 trillion in financial damage to the state. The testimony highlights the detailed scrutiny of procurement costs to uncover potential overpricing in the deal.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Auditor from the Financial and Development\nSupervisory Agency (BPKP) and Chairman of the State Loss Calculation\nTeam for the Chromebook Case, Dedy Nurmawan Susilo, stated that the fair\nprice for one Chromebook-based laptop unit is Rp 3.67 million.<\/p>\n<p>Dedy conveyed this when asked for his opinion as an expert in the\ncontinuation of the trial for the alleged corruption case in the\nprocurement of Chromebook-based laptops within the Ministry of\nEducation, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek).<\/p>\n<p>He explained that ideally, the fair price for each laptop brand\ndiffers, but BPKP took an average to determine a fair price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe averaged it, and it came to Rp 3.67 million,\u201d Dedy said during\nthe trial at the Jakarta Corruption Court on Thursday (2\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The fair price calculation used a recalculation method where BPKP\nrecalculated the components of the Chromebook laptop.<\/p>\n<p>There are four components considered to form the fair cost: raw\nmaterial prices, labour wages, general costs or indirect costs, and\nprofit margins from the goods\u2019 owners or producers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, in the fair price calculation, we have already accommodated\nreasonable margins at the principal, distributor, and provider or\nreseller levels,\u201d Dedy said.<\/p>\n<p>In conducting this calculation, BPKP also directly sought statements\nfrom the principals, with at least 12 already questioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe provided a format for them to fill in how much your costs are,\nwhat your cost structure is like, including the selling price to\ndistributors. Of course, the selling price they provide (to resellers)\nalready includes their profit margins,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the data provided was analysed or compared with import\ndocuments and sales invoices to distributors.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, BPKP also sought statements from five distributors to\nprovide the same data.<\/p>\n<p>The margins of these distributors vary, ranging from 2-7 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Former Education Minister Nadiem Makarim is charged with causing\nstate financial losses of Rp 2.1 trillion in the alleged corruption case\nof Chromebook laptop procurement.<\/p>\n<p>This act was carried out jointly with three other defendants, namely\nformer Kemendikbudristek technology consultant Ibrahim Arief, former\nDirector of Junior High Schools at Kemendikbudristek Mulyatsyah, and\nformer Director of Primary Schools at Kemendikbudristek Sri\nWahyuningsih.<\/p>",
