Nairobi County has shut down Orchid Lounge on Ngong Road following numerous complaints over noise pollution and failure to comply with previous notices.
While conducting a night raid after repeated complaints from residents around the club, Nairobi County Chief Officer of Environment Geoffrey Mosiria ordered the facility closed until it complies with the issued notices.
According to Mosiria, the facility will remain closed until the owners comply and install proper soundproofing. "Following persistent noise pollution complaints from area residents and the club's failure to comply with previously issued notices, we officially closed Club Orchid along Ngong Road.
The closure will remain in effect until the establishment installs proper soundproofing measures to ensure it operates within the required environmental and public health standards," Mosiria noted.
