A study report publicized on Saturday in the capital has shown a decline of trust on public bodies and political parties among the citizens in Nepal. The report prepared by the People's Administration Department of Tribhuwan University under the Norhead Project conducted by Norway for study for development and capacity building in higher studies states that the trust among these elements is decreasing among the people due to pervasive corruption and unstable politics. The report jointly prepared by Professor Istiyak Jamil of University of Bergen in Norway and Professor Teknath Dhakal of Tribhuwan University is centred on people's trust on public and political bodies in relation to good governance in the country. The study has underlined the growing distrust of people on the ruling bodies, rampant corruption in the bureaucracy, entrenchment of arbitrary practices, and growing feeling of hopelessness among the people. Data for the survey were collected from across the country through questionnaires between the months of June and August in 2014. Answers for questionnaires focusing on the trust on public offices and political parties were gathered from 24 thousand respondents of 49 constituencies in the mountain, hill and Terai regions.
