An inside peek into Fred Arocho’s side hustle business

He is best known for his catchphrase, Laduuuuuma!!!

Fred Odhiambo Arocho, a well-known football commentator. Arocho drives an elegant Toyota Harrier with customized rims he purchased in 2016 from Modo’s rims.

Fred Arocho is an events MC who charges Ksh 150,000/- per event in addition to football commentary. He is also a brand ambassador for the betting company Odibets Kenya.

Aside from these, the former Harambee Stars U-20 player owns four taxis that have been in operation for a long time.

“I started my taxi company five years ago, and it’s doing well,” Arocho told KenyanTrend.

“It’s a business that I’ve been thinking a lot about, and it definitely brings something to the table,” he explained.

A standard cab business in Kenya can earn you up to Ksh 3000/- per day, but it requires very smart people to run.

“The taxi drivers I have are well trained, which has greatly aided in the maintenance of the business,” he added.

Arocho, who does commentary for Radio Jambo, will be attending his second FIFA World Cup in Qatar this year, courtesy of Odibets. The first one was the 2010 which was held in South Africa.

He confirmed, “I will be flying to Qatar for the World Cup.” The World Cup begins on November 21.

His son Alvin Arocho attended Bethel University in the United States for a four-year 100% soccer scholarship after excelling at Liberty Academy, which is owned by Jacob Ghost Mulei.
