Jack gets down to work in Couva North

Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner's foray into Couva North has upset many United National Congress (UNC) supporters loyal to party leader Basdeo Panday, but that's not stopping him from doing what he set up to do.

Warner set up an office in Panday's constituency to deal with problems facing constituents two weeks ago. On Thursday he met with scores of people and provided assiatnce in a variety of ways from school books for children to medication for people with cardiac and other medication problems.

A Couva North resident who got medication for his heart problems told reporters Warner should open more offices because people are desperately seeking help.

Warner said in his interaction with people so far he has seen a great need for housing, among other things and suggested that a part of the problem is that the people are not PNM members or supporters.
