Lillian Muli quits KTN, joins Citizen TV

Lillian Muli-Kanene has moved house.

The beautiful news anchor has left KTN a station owned by The Standard Group to Citizen Television owned by the Royal Media Services.

Lillian joins a long list of her former colleagues at KTN like Catherine Wambua now at Aljazeera, Peter Moss and Munira Mohammed both at DW, John-Allan Namu and Larry Madowo both at NTV, Grace Msalame at Capital Fm , Peter Opondo, Evelyn Wambua, Mike Okinyi, Muraya Kariuki, , Alex Chamwada, Ali Mtenzi, Farida Karoney, Catherine Kasavuli all at Citizen TV, Rama Nyan’g at One FM, Janet Mbugua at E-Africa TV and the controversial Esther Arunga among many others who have in the recent past left the station in such an unprecedented move.

According to sources, Lillian will be hosting “Citizen Weekend” beginning of next year after an execution of an imminent mini-relaunch.

Lillian is said to be so excited about her latest post and said "I feel honored to get this opportunity and I am looking forward to offering my best”.

The presenter has worked at KTN for six years and at one time was even quoted saying that she will never consider leaving KTN- as the station is her life.

Many are nonetheless, wondering just what could have precipitated the sudden change of tone.

Even though she did not and has not offered any explanations about her unprecedented exit at the station; Lillian was quick to add that she left the station in good terms.

Saying that “KTN has moulded me into what I am today and just because I have moved does not mean they were not good employers.”

Lillian is said to have tendered her resignation to her former station- KTN on Saturday and was due for reporting to her new office in the course of this week.

Reliable sources indicate that Lillian was apparently offered her new job by Citizen while she was on maternity leave, and that the negotiations were concluded just after she reported back to work.

But its not just Lillian who is taking the high road, another huge KTN asset will be accompanying her to the Citizen studios.

KTN’s Business Editor Henry Marete who has also quit the station will be joining Citizen TV as Deputy News editor and will bossed by Peter Opondo, who you can clearly recall is another KTN defector.

I want to believe that at this rate, it’s not malicious to say two things.

One is that there is definitely a huge problem at the 15th floor of I&M Building otherwise what would explain this entire mass exodus.

It feels like the Israelites are leaving Egypt.

If that isn’t the case, then Royal Media Services must obviously using under- cut tactics to tame /cut down the competition to pieces or the group has just so much- should I say money to offer.
