Spanish term or phrase: a cargo de la cual (comprehension of sentence)
La subestimación de la problemática social -que preocupa, sobre todo, porque los datos deberían servir como base de las políticas por seguir- ya no sorprende demasiado a los economistas. Ocurre que los índices provienen del cruce de dos datos: el ingreso que perciben los hogares, según lo recabado por la Encuesta Permanente de Hogares (a cargo de la cual quedó un funcionario señalado por los técnicos del organismo como muy cercano al polémico secretario de Comercio Interior, Guillermo Moreno), y los valores de dos canastas de productos (una usada para medir la pobreza y otra para la indigencia).

according to which an official was identified by technical officers of the institution as being very close to the controversial Secretary of Domestic Trade? I'm not sure what I'm missing, but it doesn't seem likely that this information would be obtained through a household survey. Thanks in advance

Explanation:
An attempted explanation rather than a translation:

...the information on household income is gathered by the 'Encuesta Permanente de Hogares', a survey which is supervised by an official considered by INDEC experts to be very close to (the controversial) Guillermo Moreno

by his/her superiors so I think the translation has to reflect that :)
