A technical commission is evaluating the closure or consolidation of roughly 10 state agencies by 2027, based on budget performance and whether entities fulfill their mandated functions, to redirect resources toward security, health, and infrastructure.

Honduras's audit office (TSC) found that Omar Elías Mejía Zúniga, president of FUNDANIQUEM (the national children's burn center), hired relatives without following proper procedures in 2019–2020, but determined no explicit rules prohibited such hiring and that a severance payment he received of L1.39 million (about $56,000) was lawful and caused no financial harm.

The Supreme Court has ordered judges nationwide to notify the Treasury and affected agencies directly of final court orders authorizing embargoes against public institutions, ensuring payments comply with budget availability.
