Even if is reactivated one has doubt whether it can deliver what is expected out of it. Laws and control prove insufficient when systems do not exist in which to implement them. Moral awakenings do occur, but seldom by the design of our public leaders. If we cannot engineer incorruptible officials and citizens, we can nonetheless foster competition change incentives and enhance accountability - in short fix the systems that breed corruption. This is not easy.
Successful examples do exist, however, and they contain several themes.
In situations where corruption has grown extensive, people no longer believe even the finest promises from politicians. When a culture of impunity exists, the only way to break it is for a number of major corrupt figures to be convicted and punished. Often there are many cases 'pending' which have been set aside for reasons ranging from political sensitivity to corrupted justice officials. These cases should be pushed forward, or the government should quickly attempt to identify a few big tax evaders, a few big bribe givers, and a few high-level government bribe takers. Since a campaign against corruption can too often become a campaign against the opposition, the first big fish that are fried should be from the party in power.
