Corruption has always been a big issue for every government. The only way to fight it is have a proactive, robust system that people actually care about upholding. That doesn't usually last long as far as I have seen. Older, stable governments have a more of a osscillation between a little bit corrupt and way too corrupt (reform time).
Of course, a tiny bit of corruption can be good for a country, since it greases the wheels. This is more in countries with lots of oppressive red tape. Like medieval China was.

Simple, remove the amount of power you allow government to exercise. The more power and money government has and the further removed the rulers are from the population the easier it is to be corrupt. If people insist that even non-corrupt government has only a limited role in controlling their lives, there simply isn't as much to gain through corruption as there is when people expect government to play a large role in their lives.
I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant.- H.L. Mencken
So instead of worrying about government being corrupted by assholes, just remove the government's power so those assholes can do their assholery directly without the need for corrupting the government to do their bidding? This helps us how?
Well, the government is the most powerful tool for the corrupt person. So reducing a government's power reduces the harm corruption can do.
You don't need a big government to have an efficient justice system to protect people from other citizens.
