This message was conveyed through response letters which were sent by President’s Secretary P.B. Jayasundera and individually addressed the BOI Chairman - Sanjay Mohottala and respective board members.

The letter states that President Rajapaksa has refused to accept the resignation letter from Mohottala and would appreciate if Mohottala continues his tenure as the Chairman on the BOI to effectively contribute to the economy by promoting foreign investments for the best interest of the country and help in the post covid economic transformation.

Mohottala, along with 5 others, stepped down from the BOI board of directors last week.
