Kenya’s environmental regulator has placed more than 100 bars, clubs and restaurants on notice, warning they could be shut down for breaching noise rules. Popular venues in Nairobi, Ruiru and Mombasa now face the prospect of closure. “Several facilities have been issued Environmental Restoration Orders requiring them to provide compliance documents, but the majority have failed to comply,” NEMA said in a public notice. Among those named are well-known Nairobi venues such as Quiver Lounge, 1824, Bar Next Door, Havana, Paris Lounge and Cool Breeze in Ruiru. The crackdown comes as Kenya prepares to mark World Cleanup Day, with authorities also targeting textile waste and other environmental risks.
