Opposition is claiming ethnic cleansing by Government which insist it’s not on a witch hunt.

The PPP/C accused  A Partnership for National Unity/ Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) Government of embarking on an “ethnic-cleansing” spree, where it is outrageously dismissing Guyanese professionals on the basis of their race and political affiliation. More than any other thing, the PPP/C has objected to the manner in which the dismissals were effectuated, pointing out that the employees were not afforded due process. In most cases their severing of accumulated benefits we deemed “vindictive”.

The new A Partnership for National Unity/ Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) administration terminated the services of some 50 persons in a month in some of these sackings citing abuse of state resources.
