The Anas principle vs John Mahama's definition of corruption

If you agree that corruption is equivalent to or probably worse than mass murder, don't you think that we should do to corrupt individuals what we do to murderers?

To that extent, I find the Anas principle not enough, in that, with it, the corrupt individuals don't receive commiserate punishments as murderers do. But, at least, the Anas principle allows us to ridicule and shame the corrupt, which in some cases, could be worse than death.
