Louis’ health

The state of Louis health was evident when he appeared in court during an inquest into the death Careen Chepchumba. The former KTN anchor looked emaciated as he appeared before a Kibera court in June 2016.

Louis is currently being treated for acute pancreatitis, he has also lost his hearing.  The former KTN is in need of medical help to travel to India for specialized 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. 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,” read a statement from the Louis Otieno Medical Fund Committee.
