Guyana Politics: I feel personally insulted by Irfaan Ali’s Press Conference – Freddie Kissoon

I feel personally insulted by what Irfaan Ali did

April 15, 2019  Features / Columnists, Freddie Kissoon

Most people are familiar with that old saying, “whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad.” If I had any respect for Irfaan Ali, he has lost it. If I had any admiration for Irfaan he has lost it. I am referring to his recent press conference in which he appointed Kwame McCoy to direct.

Irfaan has gone mad. The gods have destroyed him. Of course the gods rendered him incompetent before sending him off to Hades. How perceptive is Ali? The question is he isn’t at all. Just take a fleeting glance at any PPP rally the past three months and you will see handsome and beautiful young people in the crowd, many of whom have university degrees.            Continue reading →

People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPPC) presidential candidate, Irfaan Ali continues to maintain that his academic credentials are above board, telling reporters on Thursday, April 11, 2019… “I’m an honest candidate. …I am very comfortable with my qualifications.”

However, he provided few details including whether he used a suspicious paper from a virtually unheard of West Coast Demerara institution to register for his first Master’s Degree in India. He was asked specifically to state the baseline qualification he had used to pursue that degree.

Ali refused to answer the question and when he was told so, news conference moderator Kwame McCoy interjected saying “Excuse me, Mr. Ali has answered the question in the way he wishes to answer. I will now ask us to move on.”      Continue reading →

Sporadic glitches taint voting in the city

NOVEMBER 29, 2011 | Kaieteur News

A Presiding Officer, Onika Beckles, was forced to call in the police at an Aubrey Barker Road Polling Station after she was admittedly shoved against a wall by People’s Progressive Party Civic (PPP/C) Candidate Odinga Lumumba who also verbally abused the young woman.

Lumumba also grabbed the camera phone from an Election Assistance Bureau (EAB) observer who began recording the altercation and threw it to the floor destroying it in the process.
An angry Lumumba subsequently apologized to the election observer and offered to replace the phone saying that he was angry at the time.   Continue reading →
