THE CORRUPTORS SHOULD BE GIVEN THE DEATH PENALTY

Written by: Hendri Lidayani

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.
