A couple of months ago I ran a story about the promotion of ethics in civil service in Nepal. It appears we can look for that to continue following the abolishment of the monarchy and the nation having been declared a democratic republic.

I am far away from an expert on Nepalese politics, but as someone with expertise on how change happens in all sorts of systems, I expect this is a tender time in Nepal, with hopes running high and opportunities opening up. The thing about opportunities opening up, however, is there are usually opportunists about who are all too willing to make use of a time of transition to create gain primarily for themselves. We’ll hope the new Constituent Assembly has a firm grasp on the situation and that things are thoroughly on the upswing.
