Corruption in Nepal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corruption in Nepal (Nepali: नेपालमा भ्रष्टाचार) is widespread and extends to every sector from the government to the judiciary, police, health services, and education.[1] Nepal ranks at 117 in Transparency International's 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index,[2] unchanged from its 2020 ranking.[3][4] The Corruption Perceptions Index ranks 180 countries by the degree of perceived corruption in the public sector; the country whose public sector is perceived to be most honest is ranked first.[2]

Notable scandals[]

  • OMNI scandal – for "controversial procurement deal of medical supplies".[5][6]
  • Tax Settlement Commission scandal – for corruption of 10.02 billion Nepalese rupees (NPR).[7][8][9]
