these statements make sense and are true only than normal competition is a real alternative. Which it isn't in those corrupted countries.
Without normal competition as a feasible alternative, the things are the other way around. Corruption way of doing things is cheaper, while doing things "by the book" is much more expensive if at all possible (an attempt to do "by the book" is basically denying government people an income they are "entitled to" and they don't take it lightly and would make sure that it is less profitable for you :)
