JAKARTA - Former special staff (stafsus) of the Minister of Education and Technology Nadiem Makarim,men Handayani. was asked for information from the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) today. He is being worked on regarding the investigation into alleged corruption in the procurement of Google Cloud within the Ministry of Education and Culture.

From observations in the field, my boss was asked for information at 17.40 WIB. He came to the KPK's Red and White building, Kuningan Persada, South Jakarta at around 09.20 WIB.

When he left the KPK office,OKU DID not want to say anything about the ongoing investigation. He just smiled at reporters while taking a thousand steps.

The spokesperson for the KPK, Budi Prasetyo, said that his statement as a related party was asked for an investigation into alleged corruption in the procurement of Google Cloud.

"That's right, there was the examination," said KPK spokesman Budi Prasetyo when confirmed, Wednesday.

However, Budi was reluctant to explain further regarding the summoning of death because the investigation process was closed.

"We can't tell you in detail yet," he said.

Previously reported, the KPK said that the investigation into alleged corruption in the procurement of Google Cloud was still ongoing. Investigation is being carried out to find the fraudulent mode of practice.

"This is what we are investigating. Is this happening too expensive or what," said Acting Deputy for Enforcement of the KPK Asep Guntur Rahayu to reporters quoted on Saturday, July 26.

Asep said that the procurement of Google Cloud, which was suspected of being corrupted, occurred during the COVID-19 or 2020 pandemic. At that time, the government did make online school rules due to activity restrictions to prevent transmission of the virus.

This Google Cloud, he continued, serves to store data such as tasks to test results. Asep said, the way it works is actually the same as the current online storage on smart cellphones.

"We ourselves want to store photos, videos, or what, we are stored in the cloud. That's paying. Well, this too. The cloud is what we are investigating," he said.

Asep emphasized that this investigation is different from the Chromebook corruption investigation which has been handled by the Attorney General's Office (AGO).

"For Google Cloud, it is one of the software. The software is to place data, store data from all over Indonesia, all schools in Indonesia," said the Director of KPK Investigation.
