A dinner to raise funds for veteran journalist Louis Otieno was held at Villa Rosa hotel on Friday. Otieno is expected to undergo a cochlea implant after he was diagnosed with a hearing problem.

In a recent interview with KTN, Louis Otieno left the nation weeping after he narrated his sad life experience.

"ONE MORNING I WAKE UP AND I CANNOT HEAR THE NURSE. JUST LIKE THAT. I LITERARY LIVE IN A CAVE, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD," SAID LOUIS

He added:

"I’M FROM A LIFE WHERE I HAD TWO PHONES THAT WOULD RING 24/7, I HAD PEOPLE ON SPEED DIAL, WHO WERE SUPPOSED FRIENDS, I HAD PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW LEADERS, I HAD PEOPLE WHO ARE GOVERNORS, OPINION LEADERS, PARLIAMENT…I HAD THEM AND NO ONE WAS INTERESTED."
