Corruption Breeds Corruption is wrong

It is normal sying that corruption breeds corruption. But I would say corruption reduces or kills corruption. I was told by my friend from UP that officers are tending towards being honest. I asked why? The logic was told that there is rampant corruption in UP. The politicians ask for 95% of the share of illegal collections. The officers do not want to be corrupt just for 5% gains for 100% risk. Thus corruption kills corruption becomes true.
In the recent example the bureacrates were raided in MP. The crores of rupees in cash were recovered. The next days the most corrupt politicians started shouting that the corruption will not be tolrated in the Government. Otherwise their share will be reduced. Therefore corruption kills corruption is true.
