Irma Eréndira Sandoval Ballesteros (born 1972) is a Mexican politician and scholar, expert in public administration and corruption control.
[2] Prior to her designation, in 2016, she was elected member of Mexico's City Constituent Assembly,[3] where she was vice-coordinator of Morena's parliamentary fraction and secretary of the Committee for Good Governance, Fight against Corruption and Responsibilities of Public Servants.
She has also worked for more than a decade at UNAM's Institute for Social Research, where she founded the Corruption and Transparency Documentation and Analysis Laboratory.
[4] Although Irma Eréndira Sandoval was the minister in charge of ensuring that public servants are graft-free, media[5] have reported that she accepted a plot of land from the city government under Marcelo Ebrard (currently, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico), and acquired several million dollar properties outright without taking out any mortgages and while on an academic’s salary.
However, Sandoval Ballesteros denied these accusations, making it clear that she has never received any property as a gift or donation from any public official or politician, either during or before her current position.
