VIDEO: Exclusive, Laksana Tri Handoko Emphasizes The Independence Of BRIN Researchers Even Though Megawati Soekarnoputri Is Chair Of The Steering Committee

JAKARTA – The question of the independence of BRIN (National Research and Innovation Agency) was raised when it was announced by the government that Megawati Soekarnoputri was the Steering Committee. This concern is justified because Puan Maharani's mother is the leader of one of the largest political parties in Indonesia (PDI-P). Therefore, the Head of BRIN, Dr. Laksana Tri Handoko, M.Sc., emphasized this independence issue. He ensures the researchers remain independent.
