Duale directs crackdown on noisy clubs, night constructions
On Tuesday, Duale directed NEMA to launch of a comprehensive crackdown targeting various forms of environmental pollution.
NEMA’s new mandate will be to crackdown on pollution, noise from clubs, night-time construction, improper waste disposal and air quality.
The initiative will be part of a broader anti-pollution campaign led by the NEMA Police Unit.
He warned that clubs located in residential areas will no longer be permitted to operate unless they fully comply with soundproofing and environmental laws.
“The era of impunity by club owners and private developers must end,” said Duale.
The crackdown aims to reduce the growing trend of pollution that has become a major concern for residents.
Last week, Duale ordered the immediate closure of Fay's Bistro club in Kilimani following persistent noise pollution complaints from neighbouring residents.
‘‘Let this serve as a stern warning, any club operating in residential areas that continues to play loud music will face similar action. This impunity will not be tolerated,” he said on the closure of Fay's Bistro.
