Muhunthan Canagey, the CEO and Managing Director of the Information and Communication Technology Agency (ICTA) of Sri Lanka has announced his resignation from the agency.


He said he had been asked to resign by President Maithripala Sirisena and the message was communicated to him by Minister Harin Fernando.

His statement is as follows:

“As you all know I am a person who has built my career bypure hard work and maintained the highest levels of professionalism and integrity.

I will never be part of aiding and abetting any fraud or corruption or delay in any implementation of Digitization in Sri Lanka. I have been raised from a child to speak my mind, boldly, fearlessly and honestly which are the very basic principles I live by and the rights that should prevail to me and any other human being. I am not willing to let go of that just because I need to protect my job at ICTA.
Under this circumstance it is regrettable that I am tendering my resignation and start commencing my handing over of my duties,” he said.

    Then why did the President ask you to resign ? You should share with us what could have been the reason ?

    Truth Monday, 14 August 2017 04:13 PM

    It is for corruption. For cooking up accounts of his companies to avoid paying any taxes.

    President asked him to resign because Muhunthen questioned the president on what grounds he gave Maharajahs 8mhz frequency free of charge causing a loss to the govt over $25 million.

    Corruption on all deals. Incompetence at all levels.

    That means the shouting station has lot of power to get people out. The station that has not paid a cent to get their Channel broadcast talks about scam when they enjoy all the perks without payment.

    Who is this guy and who brought him to Sri Lanka. These all rouges. We have never heard of these people before. The who brought them also must be brought before laws.What's going on in this country since recently.

    SamP Monday, 14 August 2017 08:36 PM

    Presuming Muhunthan is sincere and true to his words. I salute him for his rightful stand. Perhaps, Mother Lanka needs thousands of sons like him.

    Ravendra Monday, 14 August 2017 09:15 PM

    dear rajan As we are loving citizens we must get to know what's happening and that idiot must answer to your reasonable questions.

    The Institutions under UNP ministers must have honest Heads.When the minister is corrupt and safe guarding the crooks, the President has now intervened.This is the Best way to maintain good governance principles without resorting to cabinet reshuffles.Excellent solution !!! Congratulations Mr President.
