Kenyan football legend Joe Kadenge’s first born son Francis, passed on Sunday after a long illness.
Kadenge played for AFC Leopards and National team Harambee Stars in the 80’s.
His distraught father told supersport.com that his son had been in the village for close to six years after relocation from Nairobi.
“Francis had been sick on an off and he was taken to Mbale hospital on Saturday but when his condition deteriorated he was later transferred to the New Nyanza General Hospital in Kisumu but by then he was in a bad state and the doctors could not help.
He had been complaining of stomach problems but it is the wish of God and there is nothing more we can do.”
“I just got a call today of what happened and we will proceed with funeral arrangements which will be announced later,” Kadenge told supersport.com.
