Former KTN New Anchor Louis Otieno has gone deaf and is now appealing for financial help. This has been revealed by a statement from a committee that is organizing for his treatment.
“As you all may be aware, Louis has been unwell and in and out of hospital, being treated for acute pancreatitis. During one of his admissions, Louis lost his hearing. Efforts to fix it have failed,” read a statement from the Louis Otieno Medical Fund Committee, adding that he has been incapacitated.
“After consultations with doctors, it was agreed that the only way the hearing could be fixed was by having a procedure undertaken in India called Cochlear implant. The committee is also planning a harambee to support Louis.”
