President Sheinbaum announced that corruption allegations within the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection (INAI), involving Qatir Jamal and others, will trigger formal investigations by the Anti-Corruption Secretariat. If evidence supports claims of quid pro quo arrangements concerning fines and legal services, criminal complaints will be filed against the implicated officials. This underscores the urgent need for rigorous oversight in public data management. The president emphasized that these irregularities contradict the INAI’s mandate for transparency. By linking corruption to failures in data protection, the incident highlights how internal governance flaws can undermine public trust. Consequently, the government plans to transfer data protection responsibilities to a new secretariat, aiming to centralize accountability and restore integrity to state information systems. This situation is critical for open data, as it reveals how institutional corruption can compromise data integrity and user privacy. Ensuring transparent and secure data handling is essential for maintaining democratic accountability. The proposed legal reforms aim to strengthen these safeguards, demonstrating that open data requires robust anti-corruption frameworks to function effectively and protect citizens’ rights.
