Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesia Corruption Watch menilai hukuman terhadap para koruptor masih terlalu ringan. Berdasarkan pantauan ICW, selama tiga tahun terakhir terdapat 756 terpidana korupsi yang mayoritas hanya divonis dengan hukuman 2,1 tahun hingga lima tahun penjara.
Peneliti Divisi Hukum ICW, Tama Satya Langkun mengatakan hukuman terhadap koruptor tidak sebanding dengan kerugian negara selama tiga tahun yang mencapai Rp6,4 triliun.
"Vonis ringan itu sulit menimbulkan efek jera. Apalagi, para terpidana juga mudah mendapatkan remisi. Bagaimana mau menimbulkan efek jera kalau hukumannya kerap didiskon?" kata Tama.
Dari 756 terpidana korupsi, menurut Tama, hanya lima orang yang divonis di atas lima tahun. Salah satunya adalah Zulkarnaen Djabar, terdakwa perkara korupsi pengadaan Al-Quran dan Laboratorium Komputer di Kementerian Agama. Djabar divonis 15 tahun penjara.
Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesia Corruption Watch (ICW) said that the penalties against corruptors are still too light. Based on ICW´s observation, over the last three years there have been 756 people convicted of corruption. Most of them, he said, only received light sentences of two five years in prison.
Researchers Legal Division ICW Tama Satrya Langkun said the sentences are far too light given the fact that the state had lost Rp6.4 trillion from corruption in the last three years.
"The light sentencing would have no deterrent effect. Another thing that highlighted was the fact that these corruption convicts easily get remission. How would there be a deterrent effect if the punishment is often discounted?" he said.
Of 756 convicted corruptors, Tama said, only five have been given hefty sentences of more than five years. One of them is Zulkarnaen Djabar, who was proven guilty of corruption in the Quran and laboratory procurement at the Ministry of Religious Affairs. Djabar was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
