JAKARTA – After finishing his term as former president Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s education minister, Mr Nadiem Makarim is back in the public spotlight in the Attorney General’s Office’s (AGO) investigation into alleged corruption pertaining to a procurement project during his ministerial tenure.
Investigators with the Office of the Assistant Attorney General for Extraordinary Crimes (Jampidsus) launched an investigation in May into alleged graft related to the procurement of Google Chromebook laptops by the then-education, culture, research and technology ministry between 2019 and 2022.
