Nairobi County government has issued a notice of intention to close Quiver Stake House in Milimani over allegations of noise pollution.

Nairobi Chief Officer for Environment Geoffrey Mosiria said the notice followed alleged failed attempts to address concerns raised by neighbours who claim loud music is often played at the facility.

"We have issued several notices informing them that they have been playing loud music that is hurting neighbours. Today, we have come to issue a notice of intended closure," Mosiria said.

Mosiria said the County government will not allow any facility to play loud music that destabilises the well-being of residents living nearby.

The Quiver Stake House in Kilimani nears the DoD, State House and several residential apartments.

"We have issued enough notices to them including telling them to soundproof the facility. That has however not been heeded," Mosiria added.
