Compensation for CINTEC creditors yet to be given
By Sachitra Mahendra.
The Information Communication Technology Agency (ICTA), which comes under the purview of the Prime Minister, is said to be deliberately delaying compensation payments due to creditors of the former IT institute, Council for Information Technology (CINTEC).

Although assets belonging to CINTEC were handed over to ICTA, the agency is yet to settle the payment to all the CINTEC creditors, a former official in the Council said

It is also reported that some cheques given to ex-employees of CINTEC had not been honoured by the bank. CINTEC which was under the purview of the Science and Technology Ministry during the previous regime was later handed over to ICTA, except the human resources.

The winding up of CINTEC has to be done by ICTA after settling all the compensation payments and the present Science and Technology Minister was given a Supreme Court order to supervise the payments.
