Sri was one of three defendants who attended the initial trial of charges in the case of digitizing the procurement of Chromebooks and Chrome Device Management (CDM) which was held in 2019-2022 at the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology.
In the Nadiem era, he served as Director of Elementary Schools (SD) at the Directorate General of Early Childhood Education, Basic Education and Secondary Education, Ministry of Education and Culture in 2020-2021 as well as Budget User Authority within the Directorate of Elementary Schools, Ministry of Education and Culture, Ministry of Education and Culture for the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year.
The prosecutor said that this act was carried out by Sri Wahyuningsih together with three other defendants, namely Nadiem Makarim, Mulyatsyah as Director of SMP Kemendikbudristek 2020, Ibrahim Arief (IBAM) as a consultant, and Nadiem’s former special staff, fugitive Jurist Tan.
According to the prosecutor in his indictment, the procurement of chromebooks and CDMs for the 2020-2022 fiscal year did not comply with planning and procurement principles, without going through price evaluations and surveys.So the laptop cannot be used for the teaching and learning process in 3T (Outermost, Disadvantaged, Frontier) areas.
“That the defendant Sri Wahyuningsih together with Nadiem Anwar Makarim, Ibrahim Arief alias IBAM, Mulyatsyah, and Jurist Tan made a review and analysis of the need for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) equipment in the education digitalization program which led to Chromebook laptops using the Chrome operating system (Chrome OS) and Chrome Device Management which was not based on identifying the needs of primary and secondary education in Indonesia, so it experienced failure, especially in the 3T area,” said the prosecutor.
Of the four defendants, only Nadiem was absent on that occasion.The prosecutor said Nadiem was still undergoing rehabilitation after undergoing surgery.
