Irfaan Ali slams slander discrediting academic qualifications
…says allegations intended to take him out of PPP presidential race
…pursuing PhD
People’s Progressive Party (PPP) parliamentary frontbencher, Irfaan Ali has come out swinging at those who are purporting that he has misrepresented his academic qualifications.
Ali on Saturday refuted these claims, saying the information being peddled is intended to derail his efforts to become the presidential candidate for his party.
Ali noted that his certification, including diplomas and degrees, are already in the public domain. In addition, the former Housing Minister revealed that he is awaiting additional transcripts from institutions he has studied, even as he has already written his dissection for his PhD.
“I have never presented any inaccurate academic achievements. I will not give credence to such organised slander to discredit my wide-ranging academic progress by responding to every single element of the mischievous information being peddled and which objective is to undermine my effort to serve as the PPP Presidential Candidate,” Ali stated.
Ali noted that he would have no hesitation to make this information public when he receives it. Guyana Times understands that the MP has in fact submitted a PhD dissertation for examination on the topic: “Design and Development of an Integrated Land Management Model in Guyana” since September 2018 and is currently awaiting the result from the evaluation.

"A temporary (provisional) degree/ certificate is a document issued by an institution to a student who has successfully completed all studies included in the degree,before the actual degree certificate as a TENTATIVE ONE FOR THE ORIGINAL , when he student has completed his/her curriculum."
From the documents published in the media, Irfaan didn't complete his Masters Degree at the Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University of India.
So how can he pursue a PhD degree ??
