The Malawi Judiciary has appointed Ruth Mputeni as its new spokesperson, tasked with driving strategic communication for the institution.
Mputeni, a seasoned communications specialist, brings over 10 years of experience in journalism, communications, and public relations to her new role.
According to Judiciary Chief Registrar Innocent Nebi, Mputeni has been engaged as Chief Corporate Affairs and Public Relations Officer.
Nebi highlighted that Mputeni’s expertise will be crucial in promoting the judiciary’s commitment to openness, accountability, and meaningful public engagement.
Mputeni joins the Malawi Judiciary from her previous role at the Public Service Pension Trust Fund, where she likely honed her skills in managing communications and stakeholder engagement.
Her appointment is part of the judiciary’s efforts to enhance its communication strategy and foster stronger relationships with the public.
The Malawi Judiciary, as a branch of the government, plays a critical role in interpreting and applying the laws of Malawi to ensure equal justice under the law.
With Mputeni at the helm of its communications department, the institution is poised to improve its outreach and engagement with the public.
As Chief Corporate Affairs and Public Relations Officer, Mputeni’s responsibilities will include managing the judiciary’s public image, handling media relations, and ensuring that the institution’s messages are conveyed effectively to the public.
Her experience in journalism and public relations will be invaluable in navigating the complex landscape of media and stakeholder engagement.
Mputeni’s appointment comes at a time when the Malawi Judiciary is working to strengthen its relationships with the public and other stakeholders.
In recent years, the judiciary has taken steps to promote transparency and accountability, including educational visits to courts by students from institutions like the Malawi Institute of Legal Education and William Murray Secondary School.
The Malawi Judiciary’s efforts to enhance its communication strategy are part of a broader commitment to promoting the rule of law and ensuring access to justice for all Malawians.
With Mputeni’s expertise and experience, the institution is well-positioned to achieve its goals and build stronger relationships with the public it serves.
