Bukele aims for 'Honesty Commission'

Monday, August 12, 2019


Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is planning by early September to fulfill a campaign vow to launch an independent commission to investigate corruption, similar to a U.N.-backed body in Guatemala that brought down that country’s last president.

Bukele took office on June 1, ending three decades of a two-party system and vowing to root out entrenched corruption that has implicated even former presidents, Reuters reports.
