Well, this is at the heart of the very idea of democracy. Permanence, in public office, leads inexorably to staff "wising up" and creaming off every penny they feel undervalued by or think they can get away with.

That's why we have to power to give them the boot, every four years.

“The Prime Minister’s global leadership on fighting corruption is welcome but the UK must establish credibility if this process is to work. Overseas bribery by UK companies, the laundering of corrupt assets through the City, dirty money entering the UK’s property market through secretive offshore safe havens, such as British overseas territories, as well as numerous political corruption scandals at home, all call into question the UK’s credentials on corruption.”
