«For me, it is an honor and a privilege that Mr. Alejandro has given me the opportunity to serve again”
José Guadalupe Dueñas Acosta was sworn in as treasurer of Chapala for the fourth time.
Arturo Ortega (Chapala, Jal). – As of January 1, José Guadalupe Dueñas Acosta began serving for the fourth time as treasurer of Chapala. Dueñas Acosta served previously as treasurer for two PAN administrations and one EMEA administration. His appointment follows the «irrevocable resignation for personal reasons» of Jaime Nicolás Padilla Ramos. Ramos served as treasurer from October 1 to December 29, 2021.
The mayor of Chapala, Alejandro de Jesús Aguirre Curiel, described Nicolás Padilla as a trustworthy person due to the fact that he has worked in his family business for years. From the beginning, it was understood that his commitment was to serve the Chapala municipal administration until the end of 2021, when he would then resume his former position in the family business to handle a series of upcoming fiscal reforms.
Mayor Aguirre added that he had time to get to know Dueñas Acosta, whom he personally chose to put forward as treasurer, and knows that he is capable as well as experienced with the institution. Mayor Aguirre also considered the timing of the handover was good to allow for a clean transition for both administrations.
«For me, it is an honor and a privilege that Mr. Alejandro has given me the opportunity to serve again,” said Dueñas Acosta, who was sworn in as the head of the Municipal Public Treasury during the last session of the City Council held in 2021.
As the new Treasurer of the 2021-2024 administration, Dueñas Acosta reiterated that he has always been committed to the job and added: «I know the great responsibility that the municipal treasury entails and rest assured that I will be focusing on giving the best results,» he told the aldermen.
«I know of the great needs that exist in the municipality, and have always focused on managing every peso that enters the treasury. I am also very strict about spending, and prioritize ensuring that needs are covered while avoiding unnecessary expenditures that do not have any benefit. That has been my calling card,» added the Treasurer.
For his part, Councilman Moisés Alejandro Anaya Aguilar observed that one of the key pieces of any administration is the treasury. Since Dueñas Acosta’s skills had produced positive results in the past, he would have confidence in him again as treasurer. Finally, Councilman Aguilar said that regardless of his personal relationship with the Treasurer, he would still remain vigilant of public finances.
Dueñas Acosta previously served as treasurer during the administrations of J. Jesús Cabrera Jiménez (2010 – 2012), Joaquín Huerta Barrios (2013 – 2015), and most recently in the administration headed by Moisés Alejandro Anaya Aguilar (2018 – 2021). No charges have been filed by the State Superior Audit Office since the last two periods of the Partido Mexicano Socialista administration.
José Guadalupe Dueñas Acosta is a graduate of the University of Guadalajara in Public Accounting and Law, and has an accounting firm.
