What is going on here? Days after TV legend Swaleh Mdoe claimed he is flat broke, another TV news icon is in the doldrums.

Louis Otieno is in need of financial help for his medical treatment.

Fans got to know about it after the family and friends of the former KTN news anchor appealed for help by launching the Louis Otieno Medical Funds Drive.

 

"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 while in hospital. Efforts to get his hearing fixed including using hearing Aids have not been successful. During this period, he has not been able to engage in any gainful income generating activities which has been straineous for him and family.

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."

They continued, "The cost of this very needed surgery is quite high and hence our reaching out to friends, well wishers, former peers and anyone who feels moved to support this man get his life back again. A paybill number has been opened and is active so you can send your donations directly to the paybill. The committee is also planning a harambee to support Louis. We all know of the great work he did in media and we wish to see him continue this good work. Join us in the initiative to help Louis Otieno gain his hearing back again!"

To help out Louis Otieno, send your contributions to this Paybill Number 333957.
