Corruption - The truth is no one complains about corruption when it is to their advantage. People only complain when it adversely affects them. So, if everyone is honest and complains loudly even when corruption works in their favor, along with legislation that creates harsh punishment for corrupt people in power, we will be taking a step in the right direction.
Which one do you think can be stopped more? i would say poverty can be stopped in Nepal ONE DAY, but not corruption because for corruption to be stopped, we Nepali's have to change which is difficult to see.
