The Lord Mayor emphasised the authority's commitment to sport while addressing the players, who gathered at City Hall for a luncheon.
“I have been spending most of my free time watching Manchester United; I’m now going to spend more of that supporting the KCCA volleyball team,” Nyanjura said.
KCCA defeated Sport-S 2-0 in the three-game series to win the league, and there was excitement around City Hall.

After finishing third on the log at the end of the regular season, Shilla Omuriwe’s charges beat Ndejje Elites 2-1 in the semis before making light work of Sport-S in the finals.
“There are very many things that divide us and very few things that unite us,” she said.
“I know for sure that this is the beginning. The wait of 17 years has been worth it.”
KCCA rewarded the team with UGX 10m as a token of appreciation.
The authority also guaranteed continued support to the team to ensure it keeps the same level of competitiveness.
Whatever performances United puts up now, one of their fans will have most of her attention elsewhere, far away from the Premier League.
