Letya Sekkya ( my, လက်ျာ စကြာ, ) 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.
[Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 333][Sein Lwin Lay 2006: 21−22] 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.
[Sein Lwin Lay 2006: 20] He was assassinated in 1344 by his younger brother Htauk Hlayga.[
