Which is illegal in most countries. Police the illegality (you probably need a well funded police force for that) and the corruption will reduce significantly.
It’s true that not all corruption can be stopped. But if you think privatising everything will make your dollars more efficient then you’re living in a fantasy world.
Look at the mess that is the US healthcare system for a start: twice as expensive as every other country’s healthcare system and certainly not the best

How do you bootstrap non-corrupt police/prosecutors/judges/legislators to fight corruption, and how do you prevent the corrupt system from corrupting those people as well? If fighting corruption is so straight forward as merely giving money to police and telling them to enforce laws, then why do most countries around the world fail at it? Surely it's not for want of somebody having the idea to simply enforce anti-corruption laws. The idea is easy, but the idea is not the solution itself. And I do mean most. Look at this map: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index#/media/File:Countries_by_Corruption_Perceptions_Index_(2022).svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index#/... Several of the countries colored green on that map are generally acknowledged to be pretty damn corrupt, yet most are even worse.
