It's my firm belief that transparency is what will help us as a society to reform these institutions, little pieces at a time, bit by bit. Transparency and liability.

Corruption was built-in, easy, while "we-the-people" have the power to highlight corruption and act on it there's hope to get a better system at some point.



Agreed. This is why "perception of corruption" indexes can be misleading. I came from a country, where, if you ask residents would say there is little corruption. I would argue it's just not visible.

While other countries that attempt to root out corruption in the public way, get the perception of being more corrupt only because the government is transparent about it.
