Corrupters are the real human right violators since what they do brings about serious impact on human life. They make people suffer not only economically but culturally as well. Economically, they have robbed people’s money for their own interest and so disturbed the state’s financial sound. This causes the ruin in economic stability. Investors are reluctant to do business in the corruption-ridden country due to the costly bureaucracy. As the result, there is no job opportunity and so the rate of unemployment and criminality increases.

Culturally, corrupters also ruin the good image of a country. Indonesia, for example, which is known for its dignifying culture and tradition of the past with its religiously enriched heritages wrecked down because of the corruption.

So, if there is a public fuss demanding that corrupters be death sentenced, that’s all they deserve. They are worth shooting dead. House of Representatives Speaker Agung Laksono said he supported the idea that corrupters be given the death penalty, and hoped others, including House members, would do likewise. Laksono said corruption was doing extensive harm to society. Therefore, there must be legal punishment for corrupters so severe that will also have a deterrent effect.

In other countries which were once also plagued by corruption, the introduction of severe punishment, including the death penalty, resulted in a drastic decline in the corruption rate. This means that the death penalty is an effective means to fight corruption. A murder had consequences for only one or a few persons, but a corrupt act had a very harmful effect on the general public.
