he Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has questioned former education, culture, research and technology minister Nadiem Makarim in an investigation into alleged graft pertaining to the procurement of Google Cloud services for schools across the country during his ministerial term.
Nadiem came to the KPK headquarters in South Jakarta for an interrogation session on Thursday morning accompanied by famed lawyer Hotman Paris Hutapea.
The questioning lasted for nine hours, with Nadiem only speaking briefly to reporters upon leaving the antigraft body’s headquarters after the interrogation.
“Alhamdulillah [Praise to God], I have finished providing information about the ministry’s Google Cloud procurement,” the former minister said, as quoted by Kompas.com.
“Alhamdulillah, it went smoothly. I was able to present my statement, and I want to extend sincere appreciation to the KPK for providing this opportunity,” he continued.

KPK investigations director Asep Guntur Rahayu previously said that the procurement was allegedly done under Nadiem’s discretion.
