Senators urge the government to rename Nyayo Stadium to Kadenge

Siaya Senator James Orengo has urged the government to rename Nyayo Stadium to Joe Kadegnge Stadium in honour of the departed Kenyan football legend.

Orengo, while contributing on a motion on the floor of the Senate, said the best way to immortalise the former Maragoli United and AFC Leopards striker is to rename the national stadium in his name.
