Lets have an organization supported by US that will do the following in Nepal:


1. We can start with a small law-firm (maybe those right out of Law school), this will help the young lawyers as well as our intent.

2. We teach people who are filing for lawsuits to collect data/information regarding the case.

3. Hear complains from regular folks who have had trouble and files law cases with the Judicial system.

We file lawsuits so that those who take "ghoosh" or do not do your work because you did not give "ghoosh" will be harassed through legal means.

Funding for this project could be established via expatriates.

we can have this supported even without organization. One way or another, we have all been victim of ghoosh in Nepal. We have seen plenty of people giving/taking ghoosh. Let us roll with this plan..just an idea..


1 - if you know the people who you have to give bribe in order to get something done, have their name published with the amount he/she enojoyed. Do not be afraid, you are doing something good as a revenge of your stupidity in the past.
Do not be so remorsefu eitherl !!

2 - indicate the condition in which you are compelled to give (sometimes take) the bribe so that others can avoid the situiation.

3 - let us keep on adding the the names of the ghooshya everytime somebody post their encounter

it will be like simple database..

XYZ (CDO office charkhaal on 5th baisakh, 2056)- Rs.500 - ABC has given to get his marriage certificate...

let us see how it works..

it can be revised with an aid of wonderful ideas..

Hi guys,

One thing I, as a sajha.com visitor, am informally and slowly working on in Kathmandu is to get some of Nepali anti-corruption crusaders to visit this site, and share their thoughts and experiences with us all on a regular basis.

Quite frankly, my limited experience has been that getting these over-40 Nepali anti-corruption activists to visit this site, stick to this and start contributing their thoughts is like, pardon my metaphor, engaging in some seduction process . . . you just don't know whether they visit this site or not, whether they really like this site or not, whether they get nervous about writing to an interactive
audience that they cannot really see in this medium which, to begin with, is so unfamiliar/uncertain to them, and so on and on.

I think it takes a while for people -- especally Nepalis who did/do not use the Internet to post stuff -- to feel really comfortable about posting stuff on sajha.com.

At any rate, my biggest problem so far has been: convincing people that sites
like this can be LEGITIMATE, credible and efficient venue to share information,
to reach, in an inclusive manner, thoughtful Nepalis from all over, and to get
some momentum re: Nepal going in some form.

It's a really slow process -- but I, for one, remain confident that so far only about 5 per cent sajha.com's potential has been realized, and that there is much. much and much to be done to make this site THE SITE for thoughtful Nepalis and Nepal-lovers from all over the planet to come together to agree, to disagree, to have fun, to provoke, to argue, to learn from one another and to think/devise ways of contributing to Nepal and Nepalis in ways each of us can and will.
