As I said in another thread, you cannot expect groups to self police. The legal system will never hold these people accountable because it works against their interests to. This is basic human nature and true everywhere. This is why companies don't admit to wrong doing for dumping waste. This is why the fia doesn't admit it fixed the f1 championship. And this is why dirty cops don't go to prison.
You want change? Make a 4th branch of government who's only power and purpose is to arrest members of the other three branches when they break the law.
Of course it ain't that simple. How do you keep them from getting corrupted and arresting people they don't like? Food for thought.

Things can work well for a time with reforms here and there but eventually the rot grows and brings it down. This is in part why no empire was ever permanent. Sometimes its just better to do a reset with the lessons learned and start off just a little bit better.
