About 40 clubs operating in residential areas in Nairobi will be closed after they failed to reduce noise levels, according to a Nairobi County Government report.
The report says that the county government gave them one week to install soundproofing and/or reduce sound levels to end sound pollution in residential areas.
"As you may be aware, the Nairobi City County Government's Directorate of Environment, Water, and Sanitation is tasked with ensuring that the quality of air with respect to noise in the City of Nairobi is measured and monitored and that interventions that seek to reduce noise pollution are established," says the committee's report obtained by The Standard.
