Brenda Jons: Short story, In 2018 I was cast for @auntieboss_ke and I was to be your psycho wife and for almost a season I worked with you…you were a man of few words and every morning on set you’d say hi to me and we’d start rehearsing lines. We made a few jokes but not always but you were a good person. Othuol, rest well. You’ve fought, you’ve been fighting and be at peace now. I may not have been your friend but death is painful and it hurts to see our industry lose another big star. REST IN PEACE Othuol Othuol.

Mammito: I remember how we used to go to Churchill on the roadshows together Kwa gari will make jokes Hadi tufike … making internal jokes that no one understood but sisi wenye tulikua Kwa lorry “our favourite part was tukitoanisha dancers ikiwa climax” that joke never got old.Nakunitetea nikiamka late , helping each other create jokes before twende Kwa meza..am so sad …RIP BRO
