What safeguards can be implemented to prevent the corruption of power without undermining the authority needed for governance and societal stability?
Restrict lobbyists (especially those who have allegiances to other countries), vice president / deputies should be from the opposing party, tying politicians wages to the national minimum wage, just ti name a few.
However the reality is, people will always find a way access corruption if their motives are so inclined. Therefore safeguards for a system to protect against corruption will never be sufficient. Religion therefore has a place to play here, as truly religious people hold themselves to account before they're Lord.
All very pertinent to today’s society!
Particularly relevant quotes for as old as they are true.
