I am only proposing one consequence for violating the anti-corruption statue, which as I stated is 'removal from office'. Any associated criminal conduct can be handled separately.

But I'm not sure that any kind of legal punishment should be dished out to the other "general examples".

See, I told you that the proposal wasn't to deal with every general or specific kind of odd conduct. Only when such behavior constitutes a betrayal of public trust.

You don't have to be convicted of a crime (but you might be) to be evicted when you are in breach of contract with your land lord. You don't have to be convicted of a crime (but you might be) to be laid off for unethical conduct at work.

Government representatives stay in office and on the payroll even while behaving in an unethical manner, violating oaths of office, committing illegal acts in abuse of their authority, etc.
