Kilimani residents have strongly condemned what they term as death threats against their community members following their relentlessness in fighting noisy entertainment joints in residential areas.

Kilimani has been one of the most affected areas by the closure of noisy clubs in residential areas.

In a press statement by the Kilimani Project Foundation, the members alleged that the threats were issued by those affected by the closures, but vowed to remain unruffled in their course to make the area a comfortable place to live.

“We are aware that a few members are receiving threats because of the ongoing community advocacy against noise pollution.” reads part of the statement.

“The threats, while easily traceable by our DCI Kilimani, are an indication that our efforts to simply have peaceful nights and to co-exist are having an effect. The work pioneered in Kilimani and amplified in Kileleshwa and elsewhere has resulted in county-wide action by the Nairobi Governor with support from the State House.”

The statement further cautioned that legal action will be taken against those issuing the threats, saying that they have already identified those culpable.

“We do not tolerate any form of threats, abuse, hate speech or aggression. members violating this will be immediately removed from the community and subjected to the rule of law.” The statement reads.

Member of County Assembly (MCA) for Kileleshwa Robert Alai, who has been at the forefront of fighting noise pollution, added weight to the matter by cautioning those issuing threats with stern action.

“Anyone threatening residents for fighting against noise pollution will be dealt with properly. You don’t have more powers just because you own a club. Respect residents and we will respect you.” said Mr. Alai.

On November 25, 2022, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja revoked licences for noisy clubs in residential areas and only retained those in the Central Business District (CBD).

To cushion those willing to cooperate, the directive sought to have the clubs outside CBD convert to bars and restaurants. Sakaja’s directive was immediately effected, with law enforcers raiding non-compliant centres and arresting owners and revellers.
