The legislature on Tuesday said it was better to recognize leaders' contributions to nation-building when still alive.
Kigano cited Mbagathi Road, whose stability is credited to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, be named after him.
His Narok North counterpart Moitalel Kenta backed the proposal saying Raila is an icon in the country and deserves recognition.
They made the opinion when giving their views on a petition filed at the House seeking the renaming of Karura Forest after the late Nobel Laurette Wangari Maathai.
Last month, COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli said he does not have to lobby for his name to appear on a ‘small’ road.
This was after the signpost for a road in Kileleshwa renamed in his honour was vandalized multiple times.
According to Atwoli said that roads should not be named after the dead.
