TI mourns loss of colleague and visionary campaigner for reform in Nepal

Transparency International was distressed to learn of the helicopter accident in Nepal this Saturday that cost the lives of so many. Among the passengers was our colleague and friend Dr Harka Gurung, President of Transparency International Nepal.

Gurung had led the Nepalese chapter of Transparency International since 2004 and was a visionary campaigner for governance reform.

On behalf of the global Transparency International movement, we would like to express our deep sadness at the tragic events in Nepal. Our thoughts are with the families, friends and co-workers of the victims of the crash, including our colleagues at Transparency International Nepal and the WWF.
