Dear Editor
I AM neither a supporter of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) nor A Partnership for National Unity + Alliance For Change (APNU+AFC) coalition, so my writing is neutral.
It is shocking beyond disbelief how the media has sanitised the issue of the “dr” Irfaan Ali’s phony education. Phony “dr” Ali is unqualified to be President of Guyana.
Please publish the address and phone number of the West Demerara College, date it was established, date if it was closed and accreditation. Without proper accreditation, the institution would be considered as a “diploma mill.” If it is still in operation, please list a few of the degrees being offered. Contact information of colleges/universities is public information. Certainly, a lot of Guyanese, including myself (although I was educated in the US) would like to get a degree from this phantom college. I have asked several people for the information but nothing has been forthcoming, including one media outlet which is pro-PPP.
Guyana loves to compare itself with America and clearly the US Ambassador Sarah-Ann Lynch has been meddling in local affairs which is not the duty of a foreign service officer. Lynch and the squad (Canadian Chatterjee, British Quinn), should be ashamed of themselves of being “dr” Ali and the PPP’s lackeys. Lynch of most people should have expounded on the phony “dr” Ali’s qualifications. Since Guyana’s politicians love to compare themselves with the United States, Lynch knows the adverse ramifications if a politician, or for that matter, any public official being caught with phony educational credentials: their political careers would be doomed, Yet Lynch has accepted this fake “dr” Ali and failed to speak one word about his phony education. Get real Sarah-Ann Lynch, speak on this phantom West Demerara College or stop running your mouth about Guyana’s political affairs and exit the country. We don’t need you here to be a biased supporter of a phony “dr”.
It’s clearly illegal for “dr” Ali to call himself a “Dr” because the bachelor’s degree never existed. In the United States it is highly illegal for someone to present a fake degree and that is exactly what Irfaan Ali has done, supported by the squad from the ABC countries.
Obtaining a phony bachelor’s degree from the West Demerara College that doesn’t exist certainly invalidates the master and doctorate of the phony “dr” Ali. Hence, it could say much for University of the West Indies as just as bad. It appears as though once a person has a position, title and could pay for the degree they get it. Bravo to you phony degree holders. Irfaan Ali with his phony degrees is not qualified to be President.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) between 1980 and 1991 in the United States, Operation Dipscam yield more than 20 convictions and more than 12,500 fake graduates including government officials were identified. Surely Ambassador Lynch must be aware of this, yet she is complicit with “dr” Irfaan Ali’s phony degree from the West Demerara College.
