JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a hand arrest operation (OTT) at the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud). The OTT was carried out because of an alleged bribery transaction from the Jakarta State University (UNJ) Rector Komarudin to officials at the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Unfortunately, after successfully securing several people from the OTT, the KPK did not investigate this case. Because, this case was submitted to the police. The reason was that the people who were arrested did not have elements of state officials. That way, the KPK is not authorized to handle it.
"After the investigation was carried out at the KPK building, no element of state administrators was found. Given the authority, main duties and functions of the KPK, the case was transferred to the Police," said KPK Deputy for Enforcement Karyoto in an official statement, Thursday, May 21 evening.
He detailed, this OTT began when the KPK received information on May 13, 2020, UNJ Chancellor Komarudin asked the deans of faculties and institutions at UNJ to collect Rp. 5 million each through Dwi Achmad Noor.
Furthermore, on May 19, 2020, IDR 55 million was collected from 8 Faculties, 2 Research and Postgraduate Institutions. This money will then be handed over to this official at the Ministry led by Nadiem Makarim.
"The money is planned to be handed over to the Director of Resources at the Directorate General of Higher Education, Kemendikbud and several HR staff at the Ministry of Education and Culture as THR," said Karyoto.
On May 20, 2020, Dwi brought Rp37,000,000 to the Ministry of Education and Culture's office. Subsequently, it was handed over to the Ministry of Education and Culture's HR Department for IDR 5 million, the Personnel Analyst for the Ministry of Education and Culture's HR Bureau for IDR 2.5 million, and two Kemendikbud HR staff, Parjono and Tuti, each of IDR 1 million.
Then, the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Education and Culture informed the KPK about the provision of a sum of money. Furthermore, the KPK team together with the Inspectorate General of the Ministry of Education and Culture secured Dwi and evidence in the form of cash amounting to USD 1,200 and IDR 27,500,000.
In this operation, the KPK arrested seven people, namely UNJ Chancellor Komarudin, UNJ Head of Personnel Dwi Achmad Noor, Dean of the Faculty of Education UNJ Sofia Hartati, Personnel Analyst at the Ministry of Education and Culture's HR Bureau Tatik Supartiah, Ministry of Education and Culture Chief of Staff Diah Ismayanti, Ministry of Education and Culture HR Staff Dinar Suliya, and the Ministry of Education and Culture's HR staff, Parjono.
