In the early 2000s, the name Louis Otieno was synonymous with respect, confidence, success, and flair; he was the face of Kenyan television at the time. Following in his mother's footsteps, he became a broadcaster at KBC before moving on to work for other major TV networks such as KTN and K24.
His mother, veteran news anchor Elizabeth Omollo, remembers him as a child hanging around the KBC TV station with a pen and pad ready to correct every mistake she made while reading the news.
She recalls him being inquisitive and always bombarding her with questions and offering his own advice. He was a natural and was always destined for the spotlight until a series of unfortunate events tried to derail him.
