...CLEARED. SHER BAHADUR DEUBA, 59, Nepal's former Prime Minister; of corruption charges; by the Royal Commission for Corruption Control (R.C.C.C.); in Kathmandu.

Multiparty democracy certainly hasn't worked very well in Nepal since its inception 14 years ago.

Additionally, corruption is being rooted out. Sometimes a benevolent dictator is required to govern the less developed.
