        "content": "<p>Former Director of Elementary Schools at the Ministry of Education\nand Culture (2020\u20132022), Sri Wahyuningsih, has testified that she signed\na technical review document for the Chromebook and Chrome Device\nManagement (CDM) procurement on orders from her superiors. She spoke in\nthe Jakarta Corruption Court (Tipikor) on Thursday, 5 March, during the\nongoing trial of former Education and Culture, Research and Technology\nMinister Nadiem Anwar Makarim. She said she received the appointment\nletter on 8 February 2020, alongside Mulyatsyah, who was designated\nDirector of SMP Kemendikbud. The situation occurred during the Covid-19\npandemic. \u201cI honestly received the appointment letter on 8 February. On\n9 February I was confused why I suddenly had to sign a review. As\ndeputy, I didn\u2019t know what to do; I didn\u2019t understand Chromebook,\u201d Sri\nsaid. Because she lacked technical understanding, she sought guidance\nfrom Mulyatsyah. He replied that \u201cWe carry out because this is an\norder.\u201d The question was whether any technical explanation was given by\nanyone before Sri signed. She said that when she received the SK she did\nnot have sufficient information about the project. \u201cOn 8 February I\nreceived the SK; I had no information at all,\u201d she stated. She also said\nshe did not have time to discuss with the previous official, Poppy Dewi\nPuspitawati, about the reasons for not signing the technical review. She\ndid ask the Director General of Basic Education and Middle School, Hamid\nMuhammad, about it. \u201cI asked Mr Hamid, \u2018Sir, what about this? Chromebook\nalready \u2026\u2019 \u2018Yes, it\u2019s clear, it\u2019s an order,\u2019 he replied. \u2018Sir Hamid said\nit\u2019s an order, and I signed it; that\u2019s the issue,\u2019 she added. The\nindictment by the Prosecution Team of the Attorney General\u2019s Office\nalleges that Sri Wahyuningsih, Mulyatsyah and Ibrahim Arief caused a\nstate loss of Rp2.1 trillion in the Chromebook procurement from\n2020\u20132022. The loss comprises Rp1.56 trillion attributed to a markup on\nChromebook devices and US$44,054,426 (about Rp621 billion) believed to\ncome from procurement that did not provide maximum benefit to students\nand schools. The findings refer to an audit results report on the state\nloss by the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) on 4\nNovember 2025. The indictment states that the Chromebook procurement,\nfunded from the State Budget (APBN) and the Special Allocation Fund\n(DAK), was based on directives from the defendant Nadiem Anwar Makarim\nthrough several officials and related parties. The trial is now at the\nevidence stage with witness examinations.<\/p>",
