I can't imagine how corruption can be eliminated when the leader herself is corrupt.

In case all corrupt officials starting from the executive (including her husband, brother-in-law and cabinet members), legislative (senators and congressmen) and judiciary(justices and judges) down to governors, mayors and councilors are to be prosecuted and eventually be persecuted, one problem may arise. There wouldn't be enough jails for all of them (assuming no house arrest). At least, behind bars, she doesn't need to reiterate her call for unity. They can unite or reunite in prison forever..
