Argumentative Essay CORRUPTOR SHOULD BE GIVEN DEATH SENTENCE

Corruptors are the parasite for the development of our country. The benefits are great for the people of Indonesia when there is not corruption anymore. A prosperous Indonesia is not a dream. There are so many corruptor cases in Indonesia, thus corruptors should be given death sentence. There are three argument the corruptor should get death sentence that are to scare the people to do corruption, to decrease the number of corruption in Indonesia, and to increase the pride of Indonesia to the world’s perspective.

Death sentence can scare the people to do corruption. The punishment that given to corruptor is really weak. The legal basis for criminal (civil) corruption is Law No. 31 of 1999 on Combating Corruption, which is then updated with the Act No. 20 of 2001. In the Act, set how many prison sentences and fines of minimum and maximum for those found guilty of corruption. The penalties range from 1 year up to a maximum of 20 years in prison, and rely on the parties to a criminal act of corruption (whether the person who bribed or bought off). But there is repetition and ambiguity in some chapters.

Giving death sentence can decrease the number of corruption in Indonesia. Because death sentence is scaring people to do corruption, it can minimize the number of corruption case in our country. Nur Wahid said, the death penalty is applied in order to create a deterrent effect for criminals, as well as potential criminals. "It will give confidence to people that in our state laws can be enforced and there is protection for the people," he said. The execution, the former PKS president, should be done firmly and quickly. He believes the application of the death penalty will not leadto international protests. "Malaysia andSingapore can apply, why Indonesia did not," he said. The nation, he said, requires a firm choice and the courage to establish the death penalty for corrupt. 

Death sentence can increase prosperity and the pride of Indonesia to the world’s perspective. If our country is free from corruption, automatically our country will get more prosperity and we will not feel embarrassed to our corruption rank. Metrotvnews.com, Padang: Vice Chairman of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) M Jasin revealed, according to survey results of Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) 2010 Indonesia are the most corrupt country in Asia Pacific. PERC survey results (9.27) was put Indonesia in the first rank as the most corrupt country of the 16-nation Asia-Pacific is the purpose of investment, M Jasin said in Padang Thursday (11/8).

In conclusion, our government should firmly apply the death sentence for the corruptor because there are provident that death sentence can give scary effect to the people who want to do corruption and can decrease the number of corruption case that can increase prosperity so we do not feel embarrassed again for our world corruption rank.
