Yeah so we have a robust system of checks and balances, strong regulation and systemic processes to discourage corruption. For example, if you are in your role due to a public election or representing a public body and you are found to have taken bribes you have to serve 20 years in prison and lose all entitlements associated with your office including pensions.
Democracy tends toward corruption as any concentration of power will.

Except it mostly doesn’t work. For every corrupt official going to prison you have 10 getting away with it.
