‘Land revenue related bribe most common’ BY A STAFF REPORTER Kathmandu, Oct. 22: A users’ survey released today by Participatory and Holistic Approach to Development (PAHAD) said that land revenue was the most bribery prone office among a group of service providers. Conducted during March-April this year in Chitwan’s Bharatpur Municipality area (421 households) in collaboration with Transparency International-Nepal, the survey revealed the land revenue office on top of the list of the offices where people are unable to get their work done without paying bribe. The highest number of bribe payers were those visiting the land revenue office (37.4 per cent) followed by police and financial institutions. The hospital was said to be the least corrupt institution. The survey that covered administration, court, electricity, financial, hospital, land revenue, local authorities, police, telecommunication, and water supply services said that monetary bribing was the most practised mode of corruption. Briefing on the findings of the survey, PAHAD Chairman Prabuddha Dahal said that the respondents blamed the political (Ministers and MPs), bureaucratic and constitutional sectors for widespread corruption and demanded strong legal action and transparency to check the evil.
