El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has pledged to build a prison to hold white-collar criminals as part of a crackdown on corruption. He likened the fight against corruption to his campaign against criminal gangs. Bukele also announced bills to slim down the country's political system by cutting the number of deputies in the country's unicameral Congress to 60 from 84, and turn the small Central American country's 262 municipalities into 44 districts. The bills will need to be voted through Congress.
