The 81-year old suffered a stroke in January 2006. Kadenge collapsed at Camp Toyoyo grounds in Jericho, Nairobi, while watching a football match last October.
As the Star reports, he was later hospitalised with diabetes and high blood sugar level complications but is now recuperating at home in South B estate. A fund raiser for his treatment will be held at Railways club on Friday.
The former AFC Leopards player and Kenyan striker has requested to meet the President, whom he has wished well and asked to steer the country to success.
"There are people in the government that I would like to meet. First and foremost, President Uhuru Kenyatta, I would like to meet you before I die," he said.
"It seems my body doesn’t like me anymore. I would also like to meet the retired Presidents. You remember the old men... I would like to see them."
These are Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki. Kadenge said he would like to pay the three leaders his last respects before "God calls me", to say goodbye and ask them to grow Kenya.
The football legend said many of his friends have offered to accompany him to the meetings with the leaders but that it has been "really hard".
"Sijapata nafasi. Hakuna mtu anaweza kunipeleka kwao," he said in Kiswahili. ("I have not had the opportunity and there is no one to take me.")
Kadenge played for Maragoli United and is known for scoring the fastest ever goal in the Kenyan Premier League.
He also played club football for Abaluhya United, winning the Kenyan Premier League in 1966, and managed the Kenya national football team in 2002.
