I have an unusual perspective here.

In my country the politicians are openly very corrupt. (Well, possibly yours too ;)

Recently there has been a lot of improvement to the infrastructure. I realized that what has happened is, a lot of EU funds have been made available for development, and people are lining up to skim a little bit off the top.

How you say, the incentives are aligned, yeah?

I find myself in the odd situation where for each dollar that gets embezzled, a little bit of actual construction happens. That seems like a force you'd want to work with, rather than against.

I mean yeah ideally we'd get rid of corruption, but haha good luck with that. At least now they're fixing the roads.
