Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has called on the National Environment Management Authority of Kenya (NEMA) to launch a major crackdown on noise pollution in Nairobi County.

Through his official X account, Duale stated that the crackdown would eventually evolve into a nationwide anti-pollution campaign.

“I have directed NEMA's Nairobi office to launch a major crackdown on pollution, targeting noise from clubs, night construction, improper waste disposal, and air quality,” he stated.

According to Duale, the crackdown will involve a multi-agency team that will conduct raids in entertainment joints and construction sites, including factories, while enforcing environmental laws.

“The multi-agency operation, led by NEMA Police Unit, marks the beginning of a nationwide anti-pollution campaign,” Duale added.
