Olivierre working for PNM victory

“They are happy with the increased attention,” she said, adding, “well naturally you will meet constituents who are a bit concerned and disappointed. But once I explain to them that this is really affording me a better opportunity to pay closer attention to their needs and I’m now getting time to start interacting with schools in the area, I’m making the most of the opportunity.”

Olivierre continued: “It has been great for me. I have started having two constituency days per week, so on Tuesdays I am at the main office in La Brea and on Thursdays I am at the sub office at Rancho Quemado. So the backlog of constituents that have been waiting to see me, that has been significantly cleared up. So I do have a lot more time to focus on the needs of the constituency and I can have a greater hands on approach in matters related to the constituency.”

And regarding the Local Government election, she said the party is actively seeking to not only regain control of the Otaheite / Rousillac electoral district but also retake the Siparia Regional Corporation which had been won by the People’s Partnership Administration in the 2013 poll.

“There are actually four electoral districts within the La Brea Constituency that are part of the Siparia Regional Corporation and, of the four electoral districts, the PNM previously controlled three of them. We intend to control all four of them by November 29,” Olivierre said, adding, “I am on the campaign trail with some of the candidates and will be spending this entire week at least walking with each candidate every day.”
