News of the comedian’s admission in hospital was shared by the Chairman of Comedians in Kenya Society, Ken Waudo.
According to Waudo, the comedian’s health deteriorated on Monday evening and he was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH).
However, because of the ongoing health worker’s strike he was not attended to and had to be transferred to Shalom Hospital.
On Monday evening, Othuol – real name Ben Maurice Onyango – sent out an appeal for help to his family, friends and fellow comedians.
