Speakers at the event spoke about the changes brought about by the recent Gen Z movement.
Senior journalist Hari Bahadur Thapa, an expert in parliamentary and good governance reporting, has said that the recent Gen-G-led protests have exposed how powerful leaders are exploiting the state and misusing state institutions for personal gain.
Thapa made the remarks at the 40th edition of the Media Talk Series organized at St. Xavier's College in Kathmandu.
This time's series focused on the Gen-G generation's movement on Bhadra 23 and 24. Speaking during the event, journalist Thapa said, "Today's youth should deeply understand the fight against corruption and fight it."
At the program, anti-corruption campaigner Tanuja Pandey said that the tendency to deify leaders should end and citizens should take responsibility for holding their elected representatives accountable.
The speakers at the program spoke about the changes brought about by the recent Gen-G movement. The program highlighted how corruption is limiting the opportunities of ordinary citizens and weakening good governance.
Chun Bahadur Gurung, head of the college's journalism faculty and coordinator of the Media Talk Series, said that the country is run on the back of power and money. He said, 'All the power is in the hands of those who are in power and money. No matter how they earn their wealth, they are respected and have great influence in the community. This seriously damages the culture of good governance and accountability.'
The program was organized by the college's journalism faculty.
