Monché Atompai has officially been appointed as the General Director of Melkcentrale NV, a prominent state-owned enterprise. Previously serving as the President-Commissioner, Atompai had been acting as the interim director following the suspension of the former CEO, Dewkoemar Sitaram. Sitaram remains under investigation in connection with a large-scale fraud case that has rocked the company. The investigation, led by the Criminal Investigations Unit of the Herman E. Gooding Police Bureau, has resulted in multiple arrests. The scandal came to light after an internal audit and a formal complaint filed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries. Preliminary findings suggest that substantial sums of money, amounting to over SRD 17 million, have been misappropriated from the company’s coffers since 2018. Meanwhile, Anuska Sardjoe has been appointed as the new President-Commissioner by the General Assembly of Shareholders, marking a significant leadership transition at Melkcentrale NV.
