What you need to know:

  • He expressed disappointment in the quality of various finishes, the tartan track which is already damaged and the playing turf which is uneven and had poor quality wild grass
  • Toddy Civil Engineering Company was the stadium’s main contractor while Gregori International Company had initially been sub-contracted to do the turf
  • Namwamba said he will be taking a tour of all recently built sporting facilities that had been reported complete so as to verify their status
