Kapiti Crescent road in South B has been renamed in honour of the late football legend Joe Kadenge. This comes as the Nairobi County Assembly on Tuesday passed a motion to rename the road after Kadenge for his contributions to the football field. Deputy Majority Whip and South B ward rep Waithera Chege echoed the calls by her residents who suggested that renaming the road after Kadenge would be the best fitting tribute the county government could do in honour of the football icon’s legacy. Kadenge had lived in South B, Mariakani estate until his demise at Meridian Hospital in Nairobi on July 7, 2019 at the age of 84 after a long battle with a stroke. The Constitution provides for the functions and powers of the County Government on county transport including county roads, street lighting public road transport traffic and parking.
