PPP lost this election because of rampant discrimination

May 22, 2015 | By | Filed Under Letters 

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.

I was terribly suspicious when even my idiot Indo cousin in Guyana got like almost 2 dozen subjects at examinations under the PPP's corrupted educational system and was barely semi-literate, attended UG, then came to Merica recently and struggles at community college. Of course her father who owned several successful businesses in Guyana in which GRA would somehow assess zero dollars in taxes made her great Guyanese academic career suspicious to the rest of the family. In Guyana she was a genius, in America a dunce.

 

Under the PNC, I would bring first or second in class consistently. Came to Merica in the third grade (before the PNC left office during the era of Hoyte) and then got consistently assigned to NYC's Talented and Gifted Program, became Valedictorian from Merican grade school onwards (always out competing my social betters), wrote the City's Specialized Examinations and got accepted into Bronx Science and Brooklyn Tech. All thanks to my PNC era head start in Guyana.

 

And even in a specialized high school with some very very smart people from superior social and educational backgrounds, I had to be sent to take college courses at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine because they had nothing really for me to do. Then they decided to bend the rules and graduate me some months shy of my 17th birthday.

 

Even in my own family, a PNC-run educational system was clearly superior to the PPP-run disaster.

Banna, you cannot extrapolate your [spoilt] dunce cousin over the whole population.  I have five nephews/nieces from Better Hope, just working class parents, came to the US and immediately rocketed to top of their class.  One was a senior, comfortably knocked-off the local top kid drawing protest from students and some parents.  They wanted him excluded as he just arrived and took the case to the state board.  All appeals were promptly rejected and he walked off with the award.  He ended up graduating engineering college.  The point is, he had all of his HS education (except senior year) under PPP Guyana.

 

That being said true, not sure how some get thru school, and don't know how some teachers became "teachers", dem better off "peeling aloo".   Education is a combination of teachers and parents efforts.

 

Anyhow, being educated under a PNC run system, baseman can only agree, it was good.

Unbelievable how many fake resume are out there.  There is a very prominent Guyanese who used to live in America that carries a fake resume.  I saw he is now calling himself Dr.

 

Anybody remembers the fraud Dr. Ricardo Salomon?  He offered my father a doctorate.

Well, he never said Dr in what, maybe in Metaphysical Science, Flea Jumping, Ethicist and Thiefology or even Rotor Routing?

I remember Dr Solomon, the fat man from Eccles, immigration consultant. That guy was a top class con like Dr Crime.
