Otonglo Boy Set To Make His TV Acting Debut On Lies That Bind

I doubt that ‘Otonglo Boy’ ever dreamt that his moment on the stage would ever translate to all the blessings he has now begun to enjoy. I doubt he had ever in his wildest dreams even thought he’d get the chance to meet the president of the Republic of Kenya. But all that has come to pass and there is still more in store for the lad.

Just when I thought his 15minutes of glory were winding down, they just got a lifeline. But more on that shortly…

Daniel Owira’s been to the State House and back, seen the President; an honour which very few of us can boast of, and it seems now the corporate sector and celebrities alike are clamouring for a slice of the humour he exudes so effortlessly. Either Kenyans have this insatiable thirst for the curiously new, or 15 seconds truly are precious and unexpected.

Young Owira received an estimated Kshs. 200,000 for appearing on a Naivas Supermarkets ad recently, and it appears he’ll be making a television debut soon enough. Rumour has it that there’s a role in Citizen TV’s Inspector Mwala thats set to be filled by him, though it’s not clear whether this will be a recurrent one or a guest appearance.

What’s clear however, is the fact that he’s in negotiations with the producers of KTN’s ‘Lies that Bind’ and should be visiting Spielworks Studios sometime today to iron things out. Looks like we’ll be seeing more, and more, of ‘Otonglo’.

Here’s the preview to ‘Lies that Bind’ which airs on KTN:
