Korupsi 'bunuh rakyat negara berkembang'
 |
| Sekitar US$1 triliun diselewengkan dan dibawa ke luar dari negara-negara miskin. |
Menurut data organisasi anti kemiskinan, One,
sedikitnya US$1 triliun telah diselewengkan, dicuci, dan dibawa ke luar
dari negara-negara miskin. Akibat tindakan korupsi tersebut, sebanyak
3,6 juta orang meninggal dunia setiap tahun.
"Korupsi menghambat investasi
swasta, menurunkan pertumbuhan ekonomi, meningkatkan biaya untuk bisnis
dan dapat menyebabkan ketidakstabilan politik," kata laporan One.
"Tapi di negara-negara berkembang, korupsi
adalah pembunuh. Ketika sumber dana pemerintah untuk investasi perawatan
kesehatan, ketahanan pangan, dan infrastruktur penting diambil, banyak
nyawa yang terenggut dan korban terbesar adalah anak-anak."
Laporan itu lantas memberikan contoh apa yang terjadi jika korupsi diberantas di kawasan Sub-Sahara Afrika.
Pertama, akan ada tambahan 10 juta anak yang
mendapat pendidikan. Kedua, akan ada tambahan sebanyak 500 ribu guru
sekolah dasar. Ketiga, akan ada obat antiretroviral bagi orang-orang
yang mengidap HIV/AIDS.
Untuk itu, One mendesak para pemimpin anggota
kelompok G-20 yang akan bertemu di Australia pada November nanti untuk
menempuh langkah-langkah demi menanggulangi korupsi.
Salah satunya melansir informasi kepada publik daftar pemilik perusahaan yang dipakai untuk mencuci uang hasil korupsi.
