Uhuru Kenyatta offers to meet sickly football legend Joe Kadenge while former presidents Moi and Kibaki remain mum
Joe Kadenge’s dying wish was to meet President Uhuru Kenyatta and his two predecessors, Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi and Mwai Kibaki. So far only the incumbent has heed to Kadenge’s plea.
A few days ago, football legend Joe Kadenge made a wish to meet former presidents before he dies. He had been admitted to the hospital after he fell sick.

Kenyans amplified Kadenge’s call to meet the president and finally word got to top government officials who are now laying plans to have the head of state meet the sickly football legend.
Government officials from the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts confirmed the football icon will meet the president on Thursday evening next week.
Sports Permanent Secretary, Joe Okudo, revealed the visit was an instruction from the President who wished to see Kadenge after he made a plea to meet him.
No word has been heard from Kibaki and Moi’s side concerning Kadenge’s wish to meet them. The two former presidents usually communicate through their representatives.
