New ways to fight high corruption levels proposed
Before the administration that created this organism finishes its term, the National Anti-Corruption Council presided by Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez published a document titled "Honduras: National Anti-Corruption Strategy, a participative process".
The document states that according to research, the general population perceives corruption as one of the mayor scourges faced by Honduran society, and a real threat to the consolidation of democracy. In addition, it is a limitation in the reduction of poverty and national transformation efforts.
