Kusema ukweli this ban imetokea wapi? I mean arent we accustomed to the noise the mwadhini makes in the cox.. mat na hewa,pia personal vehicles na noise?? Tafadhali Tafuteni njaro ingine ya kumanga doh.. this is 2 obvious!!!!

Taking it slow is a wise cautious move.

The better approach would have been to create noise free zones. Certain functions eg industries,airports must emit noise otherwise how else will they function. Residential areas,schools and hospitals can be declared as noise free zones. Certain parts of the cbd like parliament should also be noise free

@All....I urge you yet again to get a copy of the regulations and read them. All the issues causing concern here are well taken care of in the regulations.

For example,@VVS,section 7 talks about Exemptions,and says:

'These Regulations shall not apply to
(a) the emission of noise for the purpose of alerting persons to the existence of an
emergency;
(b) the emission of noise in the performance of emergency response;
(c) the emission of noise in connection with the protection of the health and safety of
residents or their property during emergency conditions;
(d) warning devices necessary for the protection of public safety,such as police,fire and ambulance sirens,and train horns; or
(e) Parades and national celebrations.

Now Matatus want to go on strike because they have been asked to lower the volumes of their music systems!

Finally a hubby-frindly law- hata ukiingia nyumbani in those odd hours when it is not clear whether the night is ending or when the day is beginning, bibi asikupigie kelele na sauti >30 db.

Very nice, this NEMA law.
