There is a long way to go for Nepal to build integrity in state institutions and eradicate corruption.

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal indicated a zero-tolerance policy towards corruption a few months ago. However, corruption remains unabated in Nepal, as is evident in the Lalita Niwas land acquisition case , the fake Bhutanese refugee scam , the gold scandal and the loan shark dispute.
