Nairobi County Chief Environment Officer, Geoffrey Mosiria, has announced that, going forward, clubs and other establishments found contravening the noise pollution directive will not be told to soundproof but will be required to vacate.
In a statement on Thursday, May 22, Mosiria stated that most of the establishments facing these complaints are located in residential areas and while sound-proofing works, they still contribute to moral decay, especially for children in the neighbourhoods.
As such, he revealed that the clubs would need to be moved to properly zoned commercial areas or the Central Business District. "We shall continue to respond to all noise pollution complaints.
However, moving forward, we need a more sustainable approach.
