Citizen TV anchor Lillian Muli has revealed that she didn’t want to pursue a career in media but was only forced by her father.

Speaking during an interview with Citizen Digital, Lillian revealed that she wanted to follow in her dad’s footsteps and pursue a career in law instead.

She disclosed that her late father was an advocate of the High Court.

“My late dad was an advocate of the High Court. Later was in a law firm that he co-owned with his partners and I looked up to him so much. He was elegant and I always wanted to do law,” she said.

Lillian, who described her personality as an introvert, added that her dad advised to pursue a different career path arguing that her personality was not suitable for law.

“First forward, he said I would not do law and flog marched me to Daystar, got the admissions forms and the rest is history,” she revealed.

“I did electronic media communication and that is how I ended up in the media. It’s a good thing he saw that the potential was there. I still can’t help and wonder what type of lawyer I would have made. My interests have since diverted,” Lillian added.

Lilian Muli started her career in 2005 at Standard Media’s KTN where she interned in the production department.
