Funeral arrangements

Meanwhile, family and friends are meeting at his Kitengela home as well as a hotel in Nairobi for funeral arrangements. As they share and hold each other during these difficult moments.

A fundraiser is set to be conducted to help offset burial expenses that have spiraled upwards of KSh 700,000 to 1M. This is according to a recent statement by the Chairman of Comedians in Kenya, Ken Waudo.

Plans are underway to lay the deceased to rest at his ancestral home in Ndere, Alego, Siaya County set for Saturday, October 24.

Before his passing on, Othuol was set to undergo a brain surgery to get rid of the abnormal brain infection that had cost him several trips to the hospital.

Even during his last months, Othuol Othuol would occasionally entertain kids around the estate. Something the young ones loved him for.
