MANAGING NOISE POLLUTION

When the noise control act was introduced in Kenya as one of the acts guarding against noise pollution, many thought it would come to pass without effective enforcement as it has happened with other important sets as such. To the suprise of many mbita people, the act has been sufficiently and effectively enforced, thanx to the National Environment Management Authority. This authority has been very efficient in ensuring that the noise levels within the town are kept within the legal limits and those holding valies must always have permits to do so. Atleast we now have no reason to worry of our eardrums busting due to the high music that frequented hotels and bass in the town.
