Sylvestre Ossiala is a Congolese politician. A specialist in the oil industry, he has been a Deputy in the National Assembly of Congo-Brazzaville since 2002. He has also been the Second Vice-President of the National Assembly since 2012. ==Political career== Ossiala studied in France in the 1980s, receiving a degree in management science from the University of Caen in 1987 and a degree in petroleum management from the French Petroleum Institute in 1988. He wrote a thesis on the "Optimal production and pricing strategy for oil-exporting countries" (''Stratégie optimale de production et de prix pour les pays exportateurs d'hydrocarbures''). Ossiala worked in the oil industry as part of the budget and control department of Bouygues Offshore from 1990 to 1992 and then as part of the accounting and law department of ARCO from 1992 to 1993.〔("Qui est il ?" ), Sylvestre Ossiala website (accessed 6 June 2010) .〕 During the Presidency of Pascal Lissouba, Ossiala was appointed as High Commissioner of Hydrocarbons in 1993. He remained in that post until 1994; subsequently he was Economy, Revenue, and Contracts Adviser at the Ministry of Hydrocarbons from 1994 to 2002.〔 In the May 2002 parliamentary election, Ossiala stood as the candidate of the Rally for Democracy and the Republic (RDR) for the third constituency of Talangaï, a district of Brazzaville. The RDR was part of the United Democratic Forces (FDU), a grouping of parties supporting President Denis Sassou Nguesso.〔("Sylvestre Ossiala et Albert Symphorien Mboussa (FDU) commentent leur victoire" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 1 July 2002 .〕 Ossiala won the seat in the second round of voting, held in June 2002.〔〔("Assemblée nationale : les élus du second tour et leur appartenance politique" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 28 June 2002 .〕 He credited his victory to "the contract of loyality I signed with voters" and "the simplicity of my speeches and my actions" and noted that he had avoided "personal invective" when campaigning.〔 In the National Assembly, Ossiala joined the Economy and Finance Commission.〔 Much of Ossiala's 2002 campaign centered around the training and employment of young people. Later in 2002, the Talangaï Development Agency began working to implement Ossiala's campaign promises by training young people to do various jobs.〔("La coordination de l’Agence de développement de Talangaï (Brazzaville) entreprend de former des jeunes aux petits métiers" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 4 October 2002 .〕 In line with his campaign promises, he also initiated construction of a bridge in Talangaï in October 2002, both to improve mobility in the district and to provide employment.〔("Le député Sylvestre Ossiala lance les travaux de construction du pont sur la Tsiémé à Talangaï (Brazzaville)" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 26 October 2002 .〕 Meeting with constituents on 20 June 2003, Ossiala discussed the work of the National Assembly's second ordinary session. When discussing decentralization laws, he said that it was important for local communities to become more self-sufficient in managing their problems, rather than relying on the central government for help. Ossiala's constituents raised complaints related to health and educational infrastructure, as well as the availability of drinking water. Ossiala replied that the central government and the municipal government would try to address those problems. He also inaugurated the bridge.〔("Le député Sylvestre Ossiala visite sa circonscription électorale de Talangaï (Brazzaville)" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 21 June 2003 .〕 Acting on another campaign promise, he delivered 250,000 CFA francs, along with school supplies, to the Liberté primary school in Talangaï on 7 January 2004.〔("Sylvestre Ossiala fait un don à l'école de la liberté (Talangaï)" ), ''Les Dépêches de Brazzaville'', 8 January 2004 .〕 While continuing his work in the National Assembly, Ossiala began teaching a course on issues related to the oil industry at Brazzaville's Marien Ngouabi University in 2005.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sylvestre Ossiala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
