Nepe's theory on corruption

DR, Corruption might be a symptom of a poor leadership. But, then a poor leadership might be a symptom of corruption too, no ? However, I do agree that Nepal doesn't have a professional class of bureacracy just yet. But still, you can not wait until that kind of bureacracy gets emerged. Because controlling corruption itself is a part of the process that produces that kind of bureacracy. Corruption is everywhere. However, uncontrolled corruption is not everywhere. So, you are right that it's not about wiping out. It's about having a controlling system in place. No matter how you train, no matter what you preach, no matter how well you filfil their needs, some people are going to take chances. So a control system should always be there. In Nepal's case, the control system is non-functioning. First, it does not have power. Then the problem is overwhelming. So I was suggesting empowerment of the system and some practical compromises before letting it work powerfully and strictly. __
