Nowadays,
the corruption in Indonesia is rapidly increased. Most of the corruptors are state
officers who work in government and members of house who have duties to serve
people and make them become prosperous. This becomes a complex problem in
Indonesia because it does affect condition in some aspects which are being
worse and worse. Corruption destroys lives and communities, and undermines
countries and institutions. Knowing this, there should be a step made to solve
this problem. One of some solutions offered by Indonesian is the death penalty,
but unfortunately it couldn't be applied until now with unacceptable reasons
delivered by government which are actually used to save them. Whereas, by
applying the death penalty for corruptors, the amount of corruptor in Indonesia
will be decreased and the credibility of government becomes better.
The
growth of corruptors in Indonesia is because of some reasons, one of them is
the low punishment. We need the high one, the punishment that will make people
afraid and corruptors grudge to corrupt. Here, death penalty comes as a deterrent
effect for corruptors. This will make people stay away and protect the state
officer and members of house from corruption because they will think twice or
even more when they want to corrupt in as much as of the penalty. Besides,
death penalty is a good step to prevent the appearance of the next corruptor.
They will become chary to do this haram activity. “If Indonesian, which is one
of some corrupt nations, doesn’t apply death penalty for corruptors, the
corruption number must be increased day by day.” Said post-graduate program
lecturer of UMS, Tcipto Subadi. So it clearly can decrease the amount of
corruptor and make the society will be proud to know their country is clean and
there is no corruption again from the grass root until the chief of the
country.
A
survey done by transparancy.org, an independent organization which consists of
146 countries, shows the result of Corruption Perception Index or known as CPI
with Indonesia sits in the 5th rank in the world and the 1st rank in Asia Pacific
as the most corrupt nation.This condition shows the bad work of government and makes
people loose their belief or in other words we may say that the grade of
believable toward government is extremely low nowadays. Government has
responsibility toward the worst condition where corruption is like culture in
Indonesia so they must decide one serious decision to stop corruption to grow
larger. Therefore, by giving the death penalty for corruptors in Indonesia,
people will realize that government really concern and serious with this
problem. There will be no question again for the existence of government who
truly fight against corruption. The policy will make their credibility become
better because society admit the commitment of government.
Corruption
has already occurred for years and the amount of corruption cases in Indonesia
has been increasing day by day. This condition happens because there is no an
audacious step to fight against it. Without any serious attempt, corruption in
Indonesia will definitely be rampant. Therefore, the death penalty for
corruptors should be applied in order to stop the growth of corruptors in
Indonesia and make people believe in the government.
