JAKARTA - The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) suspects that the practice of buying and selling seats for prospective students does not only occur at the University of Lampung (Unila).
Deputy Chairman of the KPK Alexander Marwata said there were a number of state campuses suspected of carrying out similar practices. In fact, prospective students who enter through independent channels should be tested first.
"Actually, based on the information we received, it was more or less like that at other universities. So there is a bargaining mechanism," Alexander told reporters, Monday, December 12.
Alexander did not specify which state campuses carried out the practice. He only said that investigators are currently focusing on investigating allegations of bribery for student admissions in Unila.
Moreover, a number of names have been mentioned at the trial, such as the Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan to members of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the PDIP faction, Utut Adianto. Alexander said, his party will see again whether it is true whether there is the storage of prospective students by giving money to the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani.
"We will see again, whether the person entrusted is accepted, whether the person entrusted is paying according to the bribery, or he pays university entrance fees which means official," he explained.
However, Alexander said that so far many parents of students have been summoned in the Unila case, admitting they gave money. He said this made the alleged bribery received by Karomani even clearer.
"As for the proof of the bribery case, I think there are more than sufficient evidence. We have examined the parents of the students and some have admitted," he said.
"We just have to see if the fee is official or not, whether it goes to the person concerned," continued Alexander.
Previously, the inactive Unila Chancellor Karomani testified to receive money from officials who entrusted their children and siblings to be accepted as Unila students.
This statement was conveyed when he was a witness at the Corruption Court at the Tanjungkarang District Court with the defendant Andi Desfiandi. He mentioned a number of names, including the Minister of Trade Zulkifli Hasan (Zulhas).
In addition, there are also other names that have been entrusted by a number of parties including members of the Indonesian House of Representatives. They are NZ from Member of the House of Representatives Utut Adianto; AQ NP from Thomas Rizka, KDA from Tamanuri, SNA from the Joko Regional Police; NA from Sulpakar; RAR from the Regent of Central Lampung; FA from the Banten Warrior; ZAP from the defendant Andi Desfiandi; R from DPR member Gaddafi; PR from the Banten Family; and FS from Rector II Unila Asep Sukohar.
