Kenya National Volleyball team – Malkia Strikers on Saturday joined deputy head coach Paul Bitok in celebrations after he was elected to the plum position at the Kenya Volleyball Federation.
Malkia Strikers are in Yaunde, Cameroon for the ongoing African Volleyball Championships.
It was just after Kenya’s game against Morocco that the players received the good news of Bitok winning the Deputy President position.
Players were just from celebrating the 3-1 win over the North African side when the news came in – making it a double joy and celebrations for the team that has just recorded its fourth straight win in the group stage.

Malkia next face off Lesotho for their final match of the group round.
