Politician are the people who run the country

Political parties should have plans of integrity, as well as all institutions, including Government, National Assembly.... Good and continuous education of all , actions of police, justice departments, prosecutors and their mutual collaboration is MUST! We have formed in Serbia, according to the EU recommendations, special prosecutors for corruption.
I insist that the first thing to do is to conceptualize clearly What is corruption? I define the corruption as the actions performed by the servers facilitate that facilitate two things: 1. The loss of resources. 2. Directed decision making. And this is because institutional processes and procedures are constructed that allow these two options to occur. Therefore, one way to stop or reduce the risks of "corruption" is to identify the risks in each of the steps of each established process and procedure and take the necessary preventive measures.
Follow the Nordic countries example. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland always score best on non-corruption (non-corruption on political level inclusively). But it is easy to say, however, difficult to act.

Also, a bipartisan group of four senators on the Senate Banking Committee unveiled draft legislation, known as the ILLICIT CASH Act, to fight dirty money. The Senate Judiciary Committee also held a hearing on the threats that anonymous companies pose to U.S. national security.
To illustrate how important this information is for fighting corruption, a year ago this week, Transparency International revealed that the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Andrej Babis, is in a serious conflict of interest over his continued beneficial ownership of a huge holding firm that receives millions in EU subsidies.
The discovery was made simple by the fact that neighbouring Slovakia has a publicly accessible register of beneficial ownership, in which his company, Agrofert, was listed...

It should be written down for all those running for public office that if someone is questioned about corruption that he/she should lose his position until justice investigates.
The judicial system of a country should be very strict & free from political
Interference. If any politician committed any kind of corruption then he should be immediately banned from politics. Also the ethical standard of the politicians should be very high. We should follow the Nordic countries and New Zealand because they ensures minimal level of corruption.

These points are also important. Professor Ljubomir Jacić you people are trying lot of things for your country. I wish if my country Bangladesh should follow you. Our country and surrounding others South Asian country have the highest level of corruption.
NO WAY ! in Russia there is a saying: "The hand washes the hand"
Unless the mentality of leaders changes, it can not be controlled.
In my opinion, Political corruption can not be controlled because all politicians built their interests on the state of the country and took political action as a function, not experience or specialization.
As a native of a developing country and now a citizen of a developed country, I do not really see that corruption will be eliminated but rather it can be reduced by monitoring and democracy.
An example of a good judicial system in France in the fight against corruption in politics follows.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy lost an appeal to avoid standing trial for an investigation into his 2007 presidential campaign. The Cour de Cassation ruled Sarkozy must stand trial in the coming months for allegations that he tried to give Gilbert Azibert, a judge, a cushy job in Monaco in return for information about an ongoing investigation...

We need strong institutions and those found to engage in corrupt activities should be dealt with in accordance of the law.
More than one in three Africans believe there is endemic corruption in politics in their country...
The most concerned citizens are found in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where 79 per cent think that all or most parliamentarians are corrupt, followed by Gabon with 71 per cent. However, there are countries where citizens rate the integrity of their parliamentarians much higher. For example, in Cabo Verde and the Gambia, only 15 per cent and 16 per cent of respondents respectively think that all or most parliamentarians are involved in corruption...

The first thing you have to do is to pay people well so that they are not tempted to act corrupt. And then design the implementation organization with checks and balances. Try to find out what the reason of the corruption is. Design good laws with penalties and make sure that the laws are implemented.
It’s natural to think of elections when we think of political corruption. People or organisations with their own agendas can skew voting. They may secretly give parties big donations. Or parties and candidates can buy votes instead of winning them.
But political corruption isn’t just about election rigging. It can lead politicians in office to steer away from good government. Their decisions can benefit those who fund them. The public interest comes second. Political corruption can divert scarce resources from poor and disadvantaged people. This is especially common in countries where democratic institutions are weak or absent. Private rather than public interests dictate policy.
This means an ethical line has been crossed. Governments can’t act freely and democracy can’t function. Our trust in politicians is damaged. We can turn away from involvement with how we’re governed. Then political corruption continues unchecked. The solution?

Legislative bodies should pass strict laws concerning ethics and corruption applicable to all citizens of the nation. They should enforce it because nobody is above the law. People should vote those legislators out of power who are not willing to get rid of the president or prime minister via a formal impeachment process. Meting out punishment to the highest position of the country would thus set an example for everyone else, politicians and citizens alike.
This is my answer from my thread about corruption.
In Serbia, it's the police who lost the battle with corruption in process of 24 huge privatizations! The book about this issue will be published soon. The author is Sinisa Jankovic, former member of police working group on privatization . The title of this book is "Face to face with political corruption ”.
