He said residents of Oropouche West had expressed frustration at the Minister's casual ignoring of their concerns. As such, the Oropouche West MP is asking citizens to speak their concerns to the Minister.Not only that, the UNC minister asked people to call government Minister Sinanan via telephone, email, and mailing address.
