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.
