    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, Joe Kadenge has left such a serious vacuum. He has left a mark that no one will ever take away. That is why I disagree with Sen. Dullo who said that naming a stadium is not enough. It means a lot for us. It immortalizes Joe Kadenge, the best footballer this country has had. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the Northern Ireland, at the capital, Belfast, you land at an airport called George Best Belfast City Airport. George Best was not a political leader as much as he was the best footballer that came out of Northern Ireland. They have not just named a stadium; their international airport in Belfast is named George Best. The national Government should change the name. As my distinguished uncle, Sen. Wetangula, said, Nyayo is not anyone’s name; it is a description and slogan. So, Moi International Sports Centre in Kasarani will remain. However, let us have Nyayo Stadium renamed Joe Kadenge International Stadium. If the national Government is not willing to do it, we will make sure that we name City Stadium, Joe Kadenge Stadium because it is under the Nairobi County Government. Madam Temporary Speaker, people have said that it is not nice to give flowers to people when they cannot smell them. Towards the last few years, Joe Kadenge has received flowers. He has not been abandoned. I thank President Uhuru Kenyatta for visiting and giving him Kshs2 million and a National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) card. Of course, more can be done but he has been seen to. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
