From grass to grace: Veteran news anchor Louis Otieno is back on air

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.
