How do you stop political corruption when your political structure was originally designed to encourage corruption?

Answer 1

1. You have to change the structure: where too much power vests in one person or a few, corruption will flourish. 2. There must be strong laws implemented consistently and swiftly to consequate corrupt practices. 3. Compensation must be adequate considering the standard of living in the setting. 4. Automate as much as possible - reduce personal contacts between actors. 5. Decision making is a cognitive process - let your educational institutional strive for cognitive restructuring. ALTERNATIVELY, IT IS SAID THAT THE STATE OF MANKIND IS ALWAYS IN FLUX. In Particular, that all societies go through cycles of increasing and decreasing democracy and corruption. Some say that Democracies generally last about 200 years. 'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. from bondage to spiritual faith; 2. from spiritual faith to great courage; 3. from courage to liberty; 4. from liberty to abundance; 5. from abundance to complacency; 6. from complacency to apathy; 7. from apathy to dependence; 8. from dependence back into bondage' So "the structure" you find your country in may just be a point in the cycle. And where there is a will there is a way... Even the USA Constitution's Checks and Balances have been subverted.
