Nepal needs people who likes to work little than talk big. Karna Shakya has done something (mentioned above too), which has benefited our country, so, I applaud his contribution. I don't know much about his bad past records but following allegations and clarification appeared in mysansardotcom, I did found him honest compared to average business people and much better than political leaders. Agreeing with Sirish, I also thought why he did not try to do more when he was physically strong, was having better hold with governing people and business circle. He could definitely have done much more in early 90s than now.
