The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has ordered the closure of Habanos Lounge following complaints about the club's conduct.

In a statement released on Wednesday, April 16, NEMA confirmed that a closure order had been issued to the renowned club after it failed to comply with directives aimed at controlling noise emanating from the establishment. "NEMA yesterday issued a Closure Order to Habanos Lounge, located along Northern Bypass, following persistent noise complaints from neighbours and failure by the club to adhere to previous orders to control noise pollution.

The orders are to take effect immediately," read the statement.

Notably, the club, which borders Kiambu Road and the Northern Bypass, is strategically placed near affluent residential areas -  a dynamic which has led to increased calls to mitigate excessive noise levels.
