“GovPay represents a pivotal step in Sri Lanka’s jou ey toward a fully digitized economy, ensuring that every citizen can pay for gove ment services with ease and convenience. GovPay is a highly scalable platform, and we are confident that the 50+ organisations connected will grow exponentially – leading to the establishment of an accessible and trusted digital ecosystem of nationwide scale,” Chief Advisor to the President on the Digital Economy and Chairperson of ICTA Dr. Hans Wijesuriya said.
