Dear Editor,
Please allow me space in your letter column to extend congratulations to the APNU-AFC on their election win.
PPP lost this election because of rampant discrimination. Rampant victimisation. Rampant nepotism. Rampant racism. Rampant corruption.
Many can attest to the discrimination experienced under the PPP. I do wish to share one of my many painful experiences. I do believe that going public would have a catarrhal effect on pent up resentment.
I was one of the medical graduates from the class of 2000. Our final examination results were not consistent with results of the preceding four years. Students, including myself who were consistently performing well, were marked down severely in our final examinations. Because credits were very skewed to our final examinations, our final grades were severely impacted. Unfortunately, average students in the preceding four years, that had political connections, had their grades unfairly boosted. Appealing was not an option since the appeal process was governed by the agents of the PPP. One student took the University to court to appeal his grades. The arrogant agents disregard the court’s findings.
This discrimination continued as we did our internship at GPHC. I finally had enough, resigned and renounced my citizenship.
Presently, I am the first doctor from our batch of the year 2000, to become a consultant in the UK. I literally completed my postgraduate examinations in record time.
I write not to vilify anyone. I write not to champion witch hunting. I write not to promote ethnic divide. I write to bring to the fore one of the many reasons why many professionals left Guyana under PPP rule.
I will now reapply for my Guyanese citizenship. I will never forgive the PPP and their wicked agents.

Listen to the man that is throwing Guyanese bright future away
