Corruption is a very deep rooted problem in India. It is a system of working in itself.
If the members of Lokpal become corrupt, it will become useless. But i am not sure how it can be misused. Lokpal will sure have some nuisance value for the govt officials though but not for general public.
From what I have heard until now is that the Lokpal will only investigate senior officials in govt. It will not waste its time on investigating cases of bribery against a clerk in a govt office.
This can be of great value in rooting out corruption to a large extent though it annot completely eradicate the problem.

May be you are right ,the bill is not some magic stick but atleast what Anna Hazare is doing is waking people up and asking them to fight corruption.Our constitution has problems but biggest problem is with people .It is the People who keep voting on the basis of Region,caste ,Religion,Language etc Some of the corrupt people came to power with bigger margin of votes.One of the minister openly said you punish me and I win with bigger margin.All people love to play Region,Caste,Religion,Language or even gender victim card
