jackdanielsesq Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Perhaps there are certain institutions in LOS that might benefit from such attire?! BR>Jack PS No badmouthing, flames or hate speech, for a change - pulleez!! Staff at Nepal's main international airport are to be issued with trousers without pockets, in an attempt to wipe out rampant bribe-taking. The country's anti-corruption body said there had been growing complaints about staff at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan airport. A spokesman said trousers without pockets would help the authorities "curb the irregularities". The move comes after the prime minister of Nepal said corruption was damaging the airport's reputation, AFP reported. The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) said it had sent a team to the airport to "observe the growing complaints about the behaviour of airport authorities and workers towards travellers". "We discovered that the reports were true," spokesman Ishwori Prasad Paudyal told the AFP news agency. "So we decided that airport officials should be given trousers with no pockets." He said the Ministry of Civil Aviation had been instructed to put the measure in place as soon as possible. "We believe this will help curb the irregularities," he said.

markm Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 This is a typical political knee-jerk reaction to a problem without really addressing it or the cause.... Won't stop 'em, if they have no trouser pockets, they'll use shirt pockets or other innovative ways of stashing a few paper notes about their person. Pocketless trousers won't happen in Thailand in a million years where you have systematic bribe taking, you'd have to remove the pockets from all employees from the MD down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsun240Z Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I just read today on a Dutch newspaper than an Arkeflye Airline captain just emptied a whole plane of people that was allready taxing for take-off. Some people did not wanted to sit down for take-off ( important ) after regardless attempts by the stewards. The pilot got mad, put everybody out, and flew an empty plane to Turkey! Now that's discipline! Source: http://www.telegraaf.nl/binnenland/4290935...l__.html?p=13,2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
