AN ANONYMOUS LETTER TO LILIAN MULI

Lilian Muli is one of the best things that ever happened to Kenyan TV because her presence just makes the news interesting again and that is a fact. As top anchor at Citizen TV, Lilian is undoubtedly one of the fashionable female TV anchors.

The anchor toes a fine line when it comes to style. Her wardrobe is dynamic enough to hold viewers’ attention but not so outré to distract from the evening broadcast. And this seems to be the issue with a section of women.
In an open letter addressed to Lilian, the “women’s rep”, Beryl Wanga Itindi wants her to know the “torture” she subjects them to. Here’s the open letter as it appeared on Beryl’s blog, Stories And Poems From Kenya;
Dear Lilian Muli Kanene,

When we leave our homes each day/night to go and earn a living, we always make sure that we are at our best. We risk our ankles by balancing on those high heels and swing our hips by force. We carry expensive handbags and make sure our jewelery is intact! You see those wigs/weaves that some of us have on, Lilian, they are uncomfortable, but do we have a choice? Hell no! We don't! We just have to make our husbands proud by being at our best, it’s always full of suffering, our Golgotha.

Once we get home in the evening, we leave our bags at 'mama mboga' coz they are always too heavy for us in the evening and ask our children to go back for them once we are in the house. We remove our shoes at the stairs coz that's where the suffering ends, our Calvary. We live on the 11th floor remember? And our stairs are too steep! By the time we are on sixth floor, we meet our children running down stairs to mama mboga to bring us our bags, they meet us with a glass of water to give us the strength to get to 11th floor.
