A significant contractual agreement has surfaced involving Monché Atompai, Director of the Milk Central, who previously denied any formal arrangement with the State Health Fund (SZF). Despite his categorical denial to Starnieuws media outlet, documentation reveals SZF Director Rudrakanth Oemraw formalized a five-year advisory contract with Atompai on February 1, 2026.
The contract establishes Atompai as an external consultant rather than a formal employee, operating under a assignment agreement framework within Suriname’s Civil Code. His advisory responsibilities encompass policy and organizational consultation, analytical reporting, guidance for improvement initiatives, and specialized advisory services within SZF’s operational scope.
Notably, the agreement permits a minimum weekly commitment of 96 hours, adjustable according to SZF’s requirements through mutual consultation. Work may be conducted either at SZF premises or alternative locations, with strict adherence to confidentiality and information security protocols.
Financial terms reveal a substantial monthly compensation of SRD 95,856 (approximately $7,200 USD) excluding taxes, with invoicing occurring monthly based on pre-approved timesheets. Payment follows within fourteen days of invoice approval. Travel and additional expenses require prior written authorization for reimbursement.
The contract stipulates that all reports, analyses, and advisory outputs become SZF property upon payment completion. A confidentiality clause remains effective during and for one year post-contract termination.
Termination provisions include mutual agreement, one-month notice period, or immediate termination for urgent reasons or substantial breach. When recently contacted for comment, Atompai declined to respond, stating he was “unavailable at this moment” to Starnieuws.
