According to reports, Mark Jonkers expressed great satisfaction over the preliminary work done by their subcontractors, a Civil Engineering Company called Fields and Sports Equipment, which did the drainages and leveling of the pitch. He noted however that there were a few areas that needed to be corrected before the commencement of the installation proper.
Mark Jonkers further said that, “The installation process of the Diamond Blade Artificial Turf will last for two weeks after which the pitch will be ready for official handing over to the Sierra Leone Football Association.”
Representing the SLFA, during the turf installation at the Kenema City Field, were Ibrahim Kamara, the federation’s Head of Media and Marketing, and the Kenema District FA Chairman, Denis Ngotho Lansana.
