THE CORRUPTORS SHOULD BE GIVEN THE DEATH PENALTY

Written by: Rahmatullah

          Nowadays, the corruption in Indonesia is rapidly increased. For the corruptors, it is not law infringement, but it is a habitual activity. Indonesia becomes a country which has many corruptors in rank 16 in Asia Pacific. Why is it happen in Indonesia? Will the government solve the problem? To solve that problem, the government should give the corruptors the death penalty. The corruptors should be given the death penalty because of a lot of reasons. Some of them are corruptors cause difficulties for economic development, democracy and good governance and increase financial burden for pauper.
          The first reason why the corruptors should be given the death penalty is because they cause difficulties for economic development. Economic specialist argued that the first factor of backwardness of economic development in Africa and Asia is caused by corruption which is organized as capital investment. Because of that reason, therefore the corruptors should be given the death penalty. Some people do not agree with this punishment, because they think that corruption is not kind of killing or raping criminal, and death the death penalty is only for someone who kills someone else. However, the corruptors also kill someone else, especially for pauper. The corruptors also increase the destitution in Indonesia and make the society starve to death.
          The second reason is because the corruptors cause difficulties for democracy and good governance. In politic system, corruption causes democracy and good governance by the way bite into the formal process. Corruption in general election and legislative of corporation alleviate accountability and delegation of formation of policy. Generally, corruption undermines institution ability from the government, because of disobedience procedure. In the same time, corruption causes government legitimation and democracy, such as, confidence and tolerance.
The third reason and the most important reason why the corruptors should be given the death penalty is because the corruptors increase financial burden for pauper. Of course, corruption gives negative effect for pauper life, so that the corruptors should be given the death penalty. Some people refuse the punishment if the death penalty is given to corruptors. They argue that the corruptors are entitled to receive a second chance in life. It might be true, but if the corruptors are given the second chance and jailed only, they may again commit the same crime after being released from prison.
From the three reasons above, we can conclude that the corruptors should be given the death penalty. It is because they cause difficulties for economic development, democracy and good governance and increase financial burden for pauper. The government is obligated to the punishment. The government must put foot down to the corruptors. If the death penalty cannot be given to the corruptors, the corruptors must be given the lifelong imprisonment.
