Jakarta The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) on Friday questioned the secretary of the Education and Culture Ministry’s Directorate General of Higher Education, Research, and Technology as a witness over alleged irregularities in student admissions at Lampung University (Unila).

Tjitjik Srie Tjahjandarie, who appeared at the KPK’s Red and White Building here on Friday, was asked about the legal basis for procedures for admitting new students in connection with the alleged bribery case in student admissions at Unila in 2022, which has landed its former rector, Karomani, and three other officials under the commission’s scanner.
