HIGHLIGHTS
UN paid trip to Gaby Gamboa
March 2nd, 2019
The mayor of Metepec, Gabriela Gamboa failed to prove by the transparency that the international trip made by her and her daughter to the Middle East at the end of 2019, was actually paid by the United Nations Organization (UN), as she assured before the council, before going on a trip in September.
The mayor traveled to Beirut, Lebanon to an international meeting of the Environment and in local media and also in town hall, she anticipated that she would not spend a single peso of city council resources, since she was at the invitation of the UN, like her daughter, whom she appointed as director of the municipal DIF.
Due to the above and once back, transparency documentation was requested to prove the liquidation of the trip by the UN, as the mayor said before leaving.
In response to the above, the municipal government delivered two documents, but none of them related to the expenditure incurred or the responsible body.
As part of the official response to the request for accreditation of expenses, the municipality of Metepec delivered a document signed by the treasurer of the commune, José Cruz Segura, consisting of a single sheet, in which it states verbatim the following: “I would like to inform you that the Metepec City Council did not generate any expenses for this event ”.
The document shows the treasurer's signature and the corresponding official seal.
Also, as part of the response to the request made, a copy of the report delivered to the councilors on the participation of Mayor Gabriela Gamboa, in the 2019 Forum organized by a UN entity, on “Climate Finance and Cities Sustainable ”in Beirut Lebanon from September 9 to 14.
The document consists of the 10-minute participation of the municipal president in the forum, where she presented some of her government's environmental strategies and actions to mitigate climate change. After her participation, the mayor also answered a single question that arose among the attendees.
The report is signed by the majority of the councilors of the municipal government of Metepec.
Despite these two documents, the mayor did not provide a shred of single evidence that her trip together with her daughter, Gabriela Cabeza Gamboa, director of the Municipal DIF of Metepec, has really been funded with UN resources, nor the motivations or activities “ officers ”that her daughter would have had in the international forum.
It should be noted that in the town hall session last September 5, Mayor Gabriela Gamboa justified the international trip to the building representatives, noting that her daughter would go as a translator and that her expenses would also be paid by the UN.
“Only the president of the DIF goes because all my intervention is in English and although it is true that I know how to speak it, there are many technicalities; in addition, their stay will not generate any expense because, as I repeat, the trip of both is paid by the United Nations, they are the ones who take care of all the per diem, ”she said.
However, when requesting public documentaries to confirm her saying, she did not provide a single document from the international organization that occurred as she said, not even the previous invitation in which she was informed that the expenses for her and her daughter would be covered by the organism.
Likewise, in the document he presented on his presentation to the UN, it is not observed that he has requested "financing" from the international organization, as he assured before the members of the council.
