Vendor Claims Google Leaked Chromebook Project Specifications from Education Ministry
The President Director of PT Supertone (SPC), Tedjokusuma Raymond, admitted to producing a total of 39,000 Chromebook laptop units. Raymond said his company had the confidence to manufacture such a large number of Chromebooks because it received leaked specifications from Google before the procurement process at the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology had even commenced.
Raymond made the statement while testifying in the alleged corruption case involving the procurement of Chromebook laptops and Chrome Device Management (CDM) licences at the Central Jakarta Anti-Corruption Court on Tuesday (24/2/2026). The defendants in the trial are Mulyatsyah, the Director of Junior Secondary Schools at the Ministry of Education in 2020; Sri Wahyuningsih, the Director of Primary Schools at the Directorate General of Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Education in 2020–2021; and Ibrahim Arief, also known as Ibam, a consultant.
Prosecutors initially asked about Raymond’s meeting with Collin Marson, the Head of Google for Education for Southeast Asia. Raymond said that Marson had informed him there would be a Chromebook procurement at the Ministry of Education in 2021.
“During that online meeting, what did Collin Marson convey?” the prosecutor asked.
“Mr Collin and Mr Ganis [Strategic Partner Manager for Google for Education] told me that in 2021 there would be a fairly large procurement and that it would involve Chromebook products running Chrome OS,” Raymond replied.
The prosecutor then read out Raymond’s official examination transcript regarding the leaked specifications that Collin Marson had shared about the planned Chromebook procurement. Raymond confirmed its accuracy.
“In your statement in the transcript, you said: ‘Collin Marson informed me via Google Meeting that in 2021 there would be a Chromebook laptop procurement and gave me leaked specifications that had been locked in and would be purchased in 2021.’ Is that correct?” the prosecutor asked.
“More or less, yes,” Raymond replied.
“So he shared these leaked specifications?” the prosecutor pressed.
“Correct — that Chromebooks with Chrome OS would be purchased,” Raymond answered.
“At that point, had it also been leaked that CDM specifications would be required?” the prosecutor asked.
“CDM had not yet been discussed at that time,” Raymond replied.
Raymond admitted that he had only communicated with Google through Collin Marson and Ganis, and that he had never been in contact with Ministry of Education officials.
“Because of that certainty — that Collin Marson had conveyed there would be a sizeable procurement — you had the confidence to produce a total of nearly 39,000 units?” the prosecutor asked.
“That’s correct, sir. I was reassured by my distributor, Mr Muksin, and also by Mr Ganis from Google. It was enough assurance because at the time, in 2020 and 2021 during the pandemic, we were also facing difficulties — many factories had furloughed workers — so we were looking for opportunities,” Raymond replied.
“Did you communicate with anyone from the Ministry itself?” the prosecutor asked.
“No, sir,” Raymond replied.
According to the indictment, PT Supertone was one of the companies that won the Chromebook and CDM procurement project at the Ministry of Education. Prosecutors stated that the procurement enriched PT SPC by Rp 44.96 billion.
The indictment hearing for Mulyatsyah, Sri and Ibam was previously held on Tuesday (16/12/2025). Prosecutors alleged that their actions caused state financial losses amounting to Rp 2.1 trillion.
Prosecutors have also read out the indictment against Nadiem. They detailed the total number of Chromebooks purchased by the Ministry of Education in 2021. According to data from the National Public Procurement Agency’s information system and the Directorate General of Treasury, the total procurement of Chromebook laptops funded through Special Allocation Funds for primary through to senior secondary level and equivalent schools amounted to 262,202 units.
In addition to the four named individuals, there is a further suspect, Jurist Tan, who remains a fugitive. Jurist is a former special staff member of Nadiem.
