Kenyans have taken to social media to console and criticise former celebrated news anchor Louis Otieno after an exclusive interview on his woes aired on KTN.
Louis, is currently suffering from Acute Pancreatitis which has also lead to hearing impairment and his family is requesting well-wisher to come in and assist with medical expenses.
The Former iconic scribe has also decried the loneliness he faces after his friends deserted him at his time of need.
"I literally live in a cave, I have no idea what's going on in the world," said Louis Otieno.
Otieno's career met an abrupt end when he was named in murder investigations involving a college student, Careen Kipchumba.
Here are the messages from Kenyans.
I can relate to this #LouisOtienoStory because it happened to me a few months ago.. but one thing I learned is God is your only friend ❤🔥, He will always be there anytime even when you don't need him 🙏 God is the only one who knows why certain things happen to you.— Terry Leakes (@TerryLeakes_254) February 22, 2018.
This #LouisOtienoStory is a true testament that success has many fathers but failure is an orphan. Friends are there just when you are 'oily' and see an interest in you. Choose your friends carefully.— Ahmed Mohamed (@Asmali77) February 22, 2018.
So we are going to pretend that Louis Otieno was not dating an underage gal who later turned out dead mysteriously?? #louisotienostory— Rookie-knight🐴 (@jeffichai) February 22, 2018.

LESSON FROM Louis Otieno Story:Poachers of Human beings cannot just kill people n expect to live peacefully. Is the Innocent blood of Careen Chepchumba who was brutally murdered haunting the killers? The Kalenjin elders Must’ve done a great job. RIP Chepchumba #LouisOtienoStory— Atanasi (@AthanasKK) February 22, 2018.
Louis Otieno’s story is a wake-up call people!!! Do you know if the people who willingly hang with you today will be there the minute your situation changes?? Take that thought to bed, and pray for Louis if you may ✌🏼@KTNNews #LouisOtienoStory— TheFarahLife (@FarahKhaleck) February 22, 2018.
Serious lesson to our Kenyan TV celebrities trotting around with sizable ego & pride. Be down to earth. Be humble always. Main reason ordinary Kenyans are not trooping to #LouisOtienoStory to help is because they feel he never was humble.
