Colombian Joining the Dots PEPs

This is a dataset of Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) in Colombia as part of the Joining the Dots project.

Joining the Dots Colombia is a civil-society project. Their sources are public official declarations of assets, the EITI Colombia portal, and state purchasing data from Colombia Compra Eficiente.

From the project site:

"Joining the Dots with PEPs" makes available to the public information on public officials’ Financial Declarations, government procurement and contracting, and contracts and tenders of companies in the extractive sector, with the aim of identifying possible conflicts of interest, corruption or misuse of public office.

To this end, we have developed a platform that compiles, verifies and cross-checks information on politically exposed persons (PEPs) with public data from Financial Declarations, transactions registered on the official Colombia Compra Eficiente website and the list of operating companies in the mining and hydrocarbons industry of EITI Colombia.

This dataset currently includes Representatives and Senators, with some company ownership information added as notes to these political office-holders.
