Deputy Chief Registrar Paul Ndemo Maina has been appointed the spokesperson of the Judiciary.
Judiciary in a notice said his appointment seeks to enhance engagement with the public as well as transparency.
Ndemo will lead efforts in offering effective communication within the arm of the government and engaging stakeholders.
“Ndemo's appointment underscores the Judiciary's commitment to effective communication and stakeholder engagement by ensuring the public remains informed about judicial services and initiatives,” the Judiciary notice read in part on Thursday.
