Héctor Sambrano
Héctor Sambrano is a Panamanian politician and former director of scholarships at the Instituto para la Formación y Aprovechamiento de Recursos Humanos (Ifarhu). He recently gained attention after being elected as the representative of Barrio Colón in La Chorrera, despite controversies surrounding the distribution of scholarships during his tenure at Ifarhu. He has defended the allocation of scholarships, arguing that they were based on educational institutions rather than residency, and has denied using public funds for electoral purposes.
