On August 22, 2019, Anerlisa Muigai's mother, Tabitha Karanja, was arrested by DCI officers on tax evasion charges.
Seeking assistance, Anerlisa has turned to President Uhuru Kenyatta, writing a heartfelt appeal for her mother's release.
Her letter to the President reads:
Dear Our President (Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta) I am writing in regards to our local entrepreneurs. I am humbly requesting you to intervene and help/protect us all in businesses. We chose you as our President. Everyday our local entrepreneurs are being fought. We trust and believe that you will do something about it. Thank You. Regards Anerlisa Muigai.
Using the hashtags #BuyKenya and #BuildKenya, Anerlisa's appeal is a call to action for the President to support local businesses and entrepreneurs.
