Nepal sees corruption scandals quite frequently. Yet, why don’t parties put them on their election agenda?

Corruption scandals are quite common in Nepal. Once the media raise them, lawmakers take them to the parliaments, make strong statements and put pressure on authorities to investigate them. Investigations are launched, but then the cases are over.

If the political leadership was committed to not repeating them, they make corruption scandals involving parties against them as major reasons to solicit votes from every election. But, it rarely happens in Nepal; it seems there is a consensus among them to not talk about corruption before the elections.
