This must not happen again

Dear Editor,
My heart bleeds for right thinking people in Guyana. And those are the people who should be in the positions of professional authority especially in respect of the life, and limbs and sanity of our nation.
To my mind Dr. Madan Rambarran should resign. Why? It does not appears, as if his professional aptitudes are centered on things nationally correct.
Dr. Persaud’s hiring seems to have been some form of political ‘hush hush’ matter that would not have come to the public’s notice, had something not happened at the GPHC to expose his placement there as a doctor.
Without hesitation he is proficient and intelligent. His morals caused him dearly in New York and maybe in other such state and countries. Ten years is a long and uncertain wait for a licence to practice in those places.
So he heads home where political and race sympathies are on his side.
And true to form they are and were used, but the stigma followed him and remains with him, a felony is felony anywhere in the free and democratic world.
The Americans have treated Persaud kindly and fairly, he is an American trained they; took his ability into account they suspended his sentence.
He paid a small fine. He was not deported like other felons, even though it was established that the felony was committed from 2003-2007.
Dr. Persaud is surely a lucky man. I hope Minister Manickchan would take the relative amendments to Parliament to prevent such circumventions in the future.
Reginald Mc Kinnon
