JAKARTA - The KPK summoned 10 witnesses to investigate allegations of bribery for accepting new students at the University of Lampung (Unila). Investigators will examine them in Lampung.

"The investigation was carried out at the Bandar Lampung Police," said Head of the KPK News Division Ali Fikri to reporters, November 16.

Ali detailed that the four witnesses examined were civil servants (PNS) namely Tugiyono, Evi Daryanti, Shari and M Anton Wibowo. Then, the three witnesses were entrepreneurs, namely Marhamah, Sofyan and R Mulawarman.

Next, the KPK summoned Doctor Azman Roni, an employee of BUMD H Harwoto and an honorary employee at Unila Fajar Pamukti Putra. All witnesses are expected to fulfill the summons to make light of the alleged bribery received by the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani.

As previously reported, the KPK has named four suspects in the alleged bribery of accepting new students at the University of Lampung in 2022. The determination of this suspect began with a hand arrest operation carried out in Lampung, Bandung, and Bali.

The suspects involved in this case are the Chancellor of the University of Lampung 2020-2024 Karomani; Vice Chancellor I for Academic Affairs of Lampung University Heryandi; Senate Chair of Lampung University Muhammad Basri; and private Andi Desfiandi.

In this case, Karomani allegedly set a price for prospective new students on campus with a range of Rp. 100 million to Rp. 350 million while carrying out the Independent Selection to Enter Lampung University (Simanila). This request was made after Heryandi and Muhammad Basri personally selected the ability of parents to pay.

From his actions, Karomani allegedly managed to collect Rp603 million from a lecturer named Mualimin. Furthermore, he used the money he received for personal purposes amounting to Rp575 million.

Meanwhile, from Muhammad Basri and Budi Sutomo, who are the Head of the Planning and Public Relations Bureau of the University of Lampung, it is suspected that the total money received by Karomani reached Rp4.4 billion. This money was later transferred to deposit savings, gold bars, and some were still in the form of cash.
