A public-opinion poll finds that 79.3% of Hondurans continue to demand installation of an international anti-corruption commission (CICIH), even after the government rejected the mechanism, citing deep distrust of domestic courts, police, and security institutions.

More than a month after Honduras's government unveiled a national anti-corruption strategy to replace a planned international commission, President Nasry Asfura has not yet named the Presidential Commissioner for Transparency who would lead it, raising doubts about the plan's independence and real authority.

A government decree approving a national anti-corruption strategy confirms the Asfura administration has rejected establishing CICIH as an independent international anti-corruption mission, replacing it with a technical-assistance plan that critics say lacks the investigative powers and judicial independence citizens have demanded since 2015.
