They tried to talk to him and advised him to finish the medication so that he could recover fully. Otoyo also addressed the rumour about Othuol was HIV positive.

'We even bought him food. I read on blogs people weren't there for Othuol... he went back to taking medicine but he was on and off. Some people started saying TB was associated with HIV/AIDs and after doing several tests, he didn't have Aids. It's only TB,' he added.

According to the veteran media personality, Othuol was stressed.

At Churchill, he wasn't employed. He was a comedian and at the end of the month, he didn't have a salary. You were paid according to the number of appearances. And that's why he was acting on Auntie Boss as well.
