Former Citizen TV actress Fridah Muindi is among graduands who are set to join the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
Muindi was among 48 newly recruited officers graduating on Friday, March 12, after 3 months of induction training at the Prosecution Training Institute (PTI).
Previously, Muindi acted on Citizen TV's Mother-in-law program, a show that airs every Sunday on the station. She was one of the grandaughters of the main character Charity (Elizabeth Wanjiru).
She has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, having featured on a number of theatre plays as well.
Muhindi was nominated for the best actress category in the 2014 Sanaa Theatre Awards for the play "Butterflies Are Tree."
PTI training was established in October 2018 and is set to become a centre of excellence in the execution of quality prosecutorial and related capacity-building programs within the criminal justice sector across the Eastern Africa Region.
"The platform gives prosecutors and criminal law practitioners a chance to keep abreast of international standards and best practices that are required," reads an excerpt of a statement posted on ODPP.
ODPP has positioned the institute as a unique opportunity to improve the quality of prosecutions and service delivery.
Previously, DPP Noordin Haji, indicated that he was satisfied with the high training the PTI offers.
The new prosecutors will be expected to make decisions and exercise their prosecution mandate and will be required to make bold and firm decisions.
