Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa claimed today that he is a degree holder and tabled all his certificates in Parliament.

"I attended Kindergarten at St. Bridget's Convent and then joined S. Thomas Prep for my Primary Education. I studied at Royal from Grade six but sat for my Ordinary Level and Advanced Level examinations at Milhill College UK. I joined the University of London and obtained by first degree. However, I could not complete my Masters as I returned to Sri Lanka in 1993 after my father's death and took up politics. However, later I joined the University of Maryland, US and then did a Masters degree at the Open University. Prime Minister Harini Amarasuriya was my lecturer at the Open University," he said.

Premadasa tabled all his educational cirtificates in the House.

Now these certifaces may have to be authenticated by his critics including Ravi Karunanayake. Further wonder is our Prime Minister remembers lecturing him at Open University as SP claims. If yes let her explain to her colleagues so that this stops. Suggest all degree holders submit there educational certificates to the parliment so that this subject stops and wasting time. However bogus properganda generated by people to contest elections and also have there bogus titles on there names should be prosecuted and served some jail time too. Loosing there civic rights should also be considered.

I have watched his speech and based on what he said, just want to let you know that Sajith had started his Master Degree at Maryland but due to his father's untimely death he did not complete. Later on, he started again a Master Degree at Open University but he did not complete it due to his busy schedule. Therefor, he has not got a Master Degree yet but he has certainly completed and graduated from his Bachelors Degree at LSC, UK
