Saturday, June 6, 2026 - Renowned sports journalist, Fred Arocho, has emotionally narrated the struggles veteran football commentator, Diblo Kaberia, went through before his death.
Speaking during Kaberia’s burial ceremony, Arocho revealed
that the celebrated Radio Jambo commentator faced serious financial
difficulties during his final days despite being one of Kenya’s most
recognizable sports broadcasters.
