Ordena INAI a Secretaría del Bienestar a informar sobre personal
The National Institute for Transparency (INAI) ordered the Secretariat of Welfare to disclose the personal and professional data of its support staff, such as personal secretaries and advisors. This decision underscores that transparency is not optional, but a fundamental right for citizens. Concealing the identities of those who manage significant public resources fosters opacity and undermines trust in institutions, regardless of their level of government. The ruling addresses corruption beyond mere economic figures, emphasizing that questionable hiring practices pose a systemic risk. By mandating the disclosure of these profiles, the INAI seeks to verify whether officials meet the necessary requirements for their positions. This enables auditing not only who holds a position, but whether they possess the appropriate competence, thereby preventing the retention of personnel who do not perform actual duties or lack the required experience. This case is relevant to open data because it illustrates the importance of making public servants’ personal data accessible, accurate, and up-to-date. It demonstrates that effective transparency requires thorough and coordinated search processes across different administrative units. By ensuring access to this information, the rule of law is strengthened, and public management is ensured to be based on meritocracy and accountability—essential elements for an open and responsible administration.
