Ep: 552 | Corruption Starts From Society | Why Corruption Exists in Nepal?| Dr. Dipesh Kumar Ghimire | Sushant Pradhan Podcast

In this insightful podcast, Dr. Dipesh Kumar Ghimire, a leading governance expert and professor, breaks down the reality of corruption in Nepal and why it continues to persist despite laws and institutions. This episode explores corruption in Nepal, the deeper corruption system, and the psychological and societal factors behind it. We discuss why corruption exists, how Nepal’s system enables corruption, and why even people who initially oppose corruption often become part of it. The conversation dives into election corruption in Nepal, political corruption, and the role of governance failures in sustaining these issues. Dr. Ghimire also explains the effectiveness of punishment, why fear of law is decreasing, and whether stricter anti-corruption policies can truly work. A major highlight is the analysis of CIAA Nepal—its power, limitations, and real impact on corruption control. The podcast also uncovers linked corruption, where networks of influence and power protect corrupt practices, making reform even more difficult. Finally, we explore practical corruption solutions in Nepal and what the government must do to fix systemic corruption. If you're interested in Nepal politics, governance, public policy, or understanding corruption from a deeper perspective, this episode is a must-watch.
