Kadenge was a “great sportsman and respected footballer.”
“It is a great feat that one person can make such a big contribution to the game. Kadenge became synonymous with football in Kenya and we owe him a lot,” said the Deputy President when he visited the family’s home in Nairobi yesterday.
Ruto said the government will “stand and walk with the family of Kadenge during this difficult time”.
In his memory, Ruto challenged AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda to elevate the club beyond its Western Kenya influence.
“I am sure that is what Kadenge would have loved. He was not only a great sportsman, football legend but also brought up a family of sportsmen and mentored many,” he said.
