  1. This is the most correct analysis. However, corruption lowers with an increase in societal trust. Right now, especially due to tribal conflicts (as far as I understand it) especially among the elite, it's not really a society where you can truly trust everyone to not steal your stuff. Or, even if you can trust your neighbor, you can't trust your government. Especially as others will have implicitly less trust in seeing someone from another group. In real terms, the only way to improve this is to integrate and just get to know your neighbor and or have friends with different ethnic groups. If the youth is already at this stage, that's fantastic. However, it'll still take a few decades to really see that effect manifest in government as they're all still too young.
