The iron skeleton of the country has indeed bent down in front of the politicians. It just takes a few key pieces to weaken the framework and make it pliable allowing it to bend freely. If the bureaucracy came together to put their collective foot down, then things could be a lot different indeed.
What bureaucrats are apprehensive about, I feel, is their politicisation and subsequent stigmatisation. You do something by the book and end up being labelled a stooge of some political party, even if you have been totally honest. This is aggravated by the lack of solidarity between bureaucrats. For every honest person in service, you'll always find one that is a political crony. These are the very people that weaken the iron skeleton making the whole structure bend.
The principle of being answerable to the legislature has been contorted into taking away all powers from the hands of the bureaucracy and concentrating it in the hands of the politicians. They bureaucracy - where only people with the highest level of education are allowed in - has been branded as a part of the problem. Why can, these educated people, not chalk-out what the best way forward would be? If it really all their fault? I think you know the answer. The problem lies elsewhere but in plain sight.
