KPA are set to miss out on the second leg of action set for Nyayo Stadium
After finishing fourth in the last season’s Kenya Volleyball Federation (KVF) men’s league, Prisons Kenya are keen to make amends as they begin their 2023 campaign at Nyayo Stadium.
Coach David Lugh’aho’s side is in action against General Service Unit (GSU) on Friday 10 February before facing off with Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and Vihiga County.

“This is the perfect time to face the champions and the other tough teams as it will shape how the season pans out and also allow us to make amends. GSU are not at their best and this will be our chance to go all out for a win,” offered the tactician.
The warders are boosted by the availability of steer Manuel Mwadori who has since graduated from the prisons training school as well as left attacker Dennis Esikon. The two add to the team’s depth ahead of the season.
Meanwhile, silver medalists Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) will be a no-show. The dockers are said to have been affected by the changes in the Authority's management and were unable to secure funding well in time for the league action.
Unlike previously where the team assembles for residential camp ahead of league games, the players did not travel to Mombasa this time round. Coach Sammy Mulinge, while confirming the development said that KPA had written to the federation to have their matches shelved.
