PARAMARIBO - The Office of Vice President Gregory Rusland will move to the Press Center of the Office of the President because the Frank Essed building which is also known as the Government Building and which was...
officially used as the Office of the VP is not suitable. “The former VP, Ronnie Brunswijk, also did not use the sixth floor of which the interior was decorated for the VP,” said VP Rusland. Rusland who was installed as the nation’s new VP pointed out that he assessed the situation and that he noticed that the elevator is often out of order. This means that people often have to use the stairs to get all the way to the sixth floor or back to the ground floor. Another location was therefore needed. Officials looked at the building where the Office of the First Lady was located and the Press Center of the Office of the President and eventually chose to use the Press Center as the new Office of the VP. VP Rusland announced that the Council of Ministers will keep using the Government Building for the coordination of its weekly sessions.
