One question might be as to how it is that this corruption first proceeds out of public sight and that then people become alarmed to the point that there has to be an investigation and trial. All this in situations where corruption is sufficiently familiar that it should be anticipated by institutionalized safeguards.<p>
So there must be some sort of serious disconnect between public perceptions and reality. The news media culture must make a virtue of docility to some extent.<p>
I look at institutions where there is a problem through the diagnostic lens of of the principle of "respondeat superior" or at least in a parallel way. A problem at any level in the institution results from the management of the of the person or persons in charge. So maybe the ruling elites need to be held more accountable for discouraging corruption. And therefore it may be that these countries lack the institutions which would hold them accountable. <p>
In the Europe of the past, the church might have done that. We certainly can see in America that the media are unreliable for that.<p>
