I think it's obvious that the opposite is true.

Any place riddled with bribery is one where government has far too little authority and individuals ostensibly working for it are running rampant.

Authority is not exactly the same thing as power though.

Bribery happens when people have power with little accountability. Any kind of power, government or not, should go hand in hand with accountability. It's the only way to prevent corruption.
