Ochieng was born in Kiambu, in Kenya's Central Province.[1] He made his debut for Kenya in November 2014, on a tour of Namibia that included matches against the Namibian national team.[2] At the 2015 ICC Africa Twenty20 Division One tournament, Ochieng played in two of Kenya's matches, taking 2/10 against Tanzania but going wicketless against Namibia.[3] Later in the year, he was selected in the Kenyan squad for the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier, the final qualification tournament for the 2016 World Twenty20.[4] He appeared in two matches at the event, against the United Arab Emirates and the Netherlands, but had little impact in either.[5]

In May 2019, he was named in Kenya's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.[6][7] He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Kenya against Nigeria on 20 May 2019.[8]
