Citizen TV anchor Lilian Muli has filed for divorce from her husband of seven years Moses Njuguna Kanene, according to a report carried on a local daily.

The Nairobian claims the TV anchor cited “adultery, cruelty and desertion” as reasons for the divorce in an affidavit that was filed at the Chief Magistrate’s court at Milimani in Nairobi on January 7, 2016.

According to the newspaper’s report, Lilian Muli claimed that her husband is adulterous, having cheated on her with several women before deserting her.

Further, that Mr Kanene is a man of “unpredictable moods, ungovernable temper and violent in nature,” and that he had failed to undertake his responsibilities as a husband or as a father.

The newspaper published the pages of Lilian Muli’s affidavit as evidence of the pending divorce.

“The petitioner (Lilian Muli) humbly prays that a) the marriage with the respondent (Mr Kanene) be hereby dissolved, b) that the costs of this petition be paid by the respondent (Mr Kanene),” the affidavit indicates.

The couple married in September 2009 in a highly publicised wedding at the Windsor Golf and Country Club. They have a six year-old son.
