Letya Sekkya (Burmese: လက်ျာ စကြာ, in Burmese pronounced as /lɛʔjà sɛʔkjà/) was governor of Toungoo (Taungoo) from 1342 to 1344. He became governor with the title of Zeya Thingyan (ဇေယျ သင်္ကြန်) after the death of his father-in-law Kayin Ba, who left no male heirs.[1] [2] Prior to becoming governor, he had been a longtime minister serving at the regional court of Toungoo at least since the 1310s. In 1317−18, Sekkya led the negotiations with the forces of Pinya that allowed the rebellious governor Thawun Nge to remain in office in exchange for the latter's nominal submission.[1] [3] He was assassinated in 1344 by his younger brother Htauk Hlayga.[2]
