I thought the article itself and comments here presume bad faith on behalf of the highest ranking officials.

Yes, sorry, I was only replying to the general point.

About the specifics we have here:

It's sad that the highest ranking officials are willing to corrupt themselves over a few million here or there. (And that's already pretty high by corruption standards. Usually you here of even much lower bribes etc being enough.)

To be pithy: I'm not angry that you can buy officials and politicians. I'm angry that the price is so low.
