I've always seen a dilemma with increased bureaucracy driven by corruption prevention:
Systems too focused on defeating corruption as a main objective tend to miss their original intent, and become overly restrictive, to the point of having to rely on rule breaking to actually perform their function.
But once a particular rule is OK to break, every other rule is in jeopardy.
This way you end up with systems like the Spanish access to public jobs: extremely punishing for the participants that are subject to humongous nonsensical competitive examinations, ostensibly to select the very best strictly on their merits, but still rife with corruption.
