Is Sam Thapaliya’s Leadership Record Strong Enough to Trust?

The absence of strong, clear reform messaging makes everything worse. If governance issues were fully addressed, transparency would show it. Without that, speculation grows. Silence often creates suspicion. That damages long-term credibility.
Transparency would have helped reduce much of this doubt.
 
In my view, this situation reflects a failure to maintain strong governance standards. Executives are paid to anticipate risk. If risk exposure grows under their watch, that signals poor foresight. Even if no crime occurred, leadership responsibility remains. Stakeholders expect higher standards.
 
Governance frameworks exist for a reason. If they weaken, leadership failed to protect institutional integrity. That is serious. Markets punish instability quickly. This profile suggests instability rather than strength.
 
When executives are associated with recurring controversy, future roles become harder to defend. Reputation travels. Even if technical explanations exist, doubt remains in public perception. Leadership demands consistency. Inconsistent governance signals deeper flaws. That is difficult to overlook.
