Think About It

We often argue so much about the 'Political system in Nepal'. Republics democratic and multicultural parties mainly dominate Nepalese political system. This is a good system if we look at the good side. According to this multicultural party system Nepal was suppose to have many political parties into different parts of the country helping people and the society to grow fonder. But this system turned out to be very negative in terms of power. Every day there is disputes among parties. About who gets the power?Have anyone ever wonder why do we argue so much about this topic and yet it does not seem to affect anyone or change anything at all?Nepal seems to be so corrupted that it is almost impossible for anyone to process any governmental work these days. In Nepal, from a small clerk to big administrative leaders, from leaders to political parties everyone is corrupted. Their expectations for filling their pockets with money have grown higher that no work gets processed for free of cost.

So, in all this the question here is ‘who is to be blamed?” There is absolutely no definite answer to this. A simple clerk demands for a little money from an individual that needs his work to be processed. A clerk takes money so that he can fulfill his basic needs. In a country like Nepal, an average “day salary“ of an average individual is less than a dollar. So, a clerk then takes a little money from individual like us, who are hungry for our work to be done as soon as possible. As the entire government work can take months, which otherwise with the help of little money given away can go forward and can be done within half hour. Then, as the process goes forward there are other higher officers who carry on the system. It is not the officers fault either. With less than an income of $2 a day, he/she must have their needs not met. So then they become a part of it too. They tend to blame it on the job for not paying them good salary and without hesitation they take it from innocent people.

A job that is supposed to be done with no cost then becomes a very expensive process. Then becomes a serious problem for the poor that can hardly provide for his family.Is it always government’s fault? Are we individually not supporting it? If we pay government all the taxes maybe then they could provide enough money for the officers. And maybe they will not be encouraged in such manner.The alternate of this is also if an individual absolutely stop giving away money from the beginning may be we can stop this, may be this system might change. Why do we only think about yourself and our works? If rich and middle class people keep on feeding their pockets poor people will not be able to have any process done for them. One day will come when bribery will be in higher demand and even middle class people like myself wont have enough money to give away for them and this will lead to more hungry people, more corruption and more rise of Poverty. We complain so much about Corruption but seriously what are we really doing about it? Are we not equally supporting it?
