Inside Nepal’s System: Bribes, Bureaucracy & The Truth

Описание: Many young people in Nepal want to create impact but don’t know how the political system actually works.

In this conversation, Aakriti Ghimire shares her experience working as a Swakiya Sachib to an MP, a Minister, and inside the Prime Minister’s Secretariat. She breaks down how governance functions from the inside and what real entry points exist for youths who care about policy, public service, and long-term career growth.

We discuss:
• What an MP’s Personal Secretary really does
• How young people can get involved in governance
• The learning curve inside Parliament and Ministries
• Structural challenges and accountability gaps
• Why understanding politics is essential for Gen Z
